HeartMath's Add Heart

Guest: Dr. Tara Scott In this episode, our guest Dr. Tara Scott, known on Instagram and TikTok as the Hormone Guru and founder of Revitalize Medical Group, talks with our host Deborah Rozman, Ph.D., about the connection between today's stress and hormones. She addresses important questions: Is stress accumulation contributing to hormonal imbalances and depression in teenage girls, infertility and menopausal problems in women, or causing low testosterone in men? Is there a link between stress and endocrine imbalances in insulin, glucose, thyroid, or cortisol levels? Should physicians do more to include stress assessments during hormone balance evaluations?  Dr. Scott shares with us her answers to these questions and how she works with patients to get the right tools to help them rebalance their hormones. “Don’t wait until you’re having chronic health issues,” says Dr. Scott. She wants people listening to hear that addressing stress and hormonal health is a priority. She offers suggestions for better protecting yourself now from stress-related diseases you could otherwise face later in life — and why heart-based techniques such as those offered by HeartMath® are a key part of her practice. The episode closes with a heart meditation to help increase our heart rhythm coherence and synchronize the rhythms of our heart and brain by radiating love throughout the body. This can support our awareness of self-care, health, and self-empowerment. About our guest: Dr. Tara Scott first became involved with hormone and integrative medicine while practicing as an OB-GYN. Her empathy for patients experiencing hormone-related issues led her to become trained and certified by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. The evidence-based practices she employed helped many patients conquer chronic wellness issues, and word quickly spread. It soon became clear that a practice devoted strictly to evidence-based regenerative medicine, highly focused on hormone-related issues, was needed in the medical community. Revitalize Medical Group was born. Dr. Scott is passionate about educating the medical community on the advances in evidence-based hormone therapy. She is a national speaker on the subject and has an extensive list of credentials, which include being a member of the Fellowship of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FACOG) and a member of the Fellowship in Anti-Aging, Regenerative and Functional Medicine (FAAFM).

Guest: Neale Donald Walsch In this episode, our guest Neale Donald Walsch, globally acclaimed speaker and best-selling author of the Conversations with God book series, joins us for an extraordinary conversation about the heart. Neale and our host, Deborah Rozman, explore questions such as: What's the difference between the heart and the soul? Is the heart the coupling between our human self and our soul self? Neale describes people as 3-part beings: the mind, the body, and the soul. However, in this exploration, Neale and Deborah discuss the heart as part of this equation, and the conversation expands our understanding to include the energetic or spiritual heart — making us all 4-part beings. The heart is how we connect with something greater than ourselves. As science is trying to better understand this connection, what we do know is that the body is a kind of receiver of energetic information. And at the core, it is the heart that is helping us to understand and decode the information we receive energetically — which we call the heart's intuitive guidance. Since the heart is also capable of broadcasting energetic information, the question is asked, what information are we broadcasting and to whom? We broadcast our feelings and emotions through the heart's energetic field. That's how we pick up on each other's vibes (vibrations). We broadcast higher heart feelings such as love, care, compassion, and kindness, as well as feelings of heartache, anxiety, fear, and resentment. To get our heart and mind aligned and receive intuitive guidance from soul/spirit/God, do we have to choose to open our hearts to love and care and have compassion for each other? This question is discussed, and the conversation wraps up with an exercise and a heart meditation we can each use to invite our mind to align more deeply with our heart and intuitive guidance. About our guest: Neale Donald Walsch (nealedonaldwalsch.com) is a modern-day spiritual messenger whose words continue to touch the world in profound ways. With an early interest in religion and a deeply felt connection to spirituality, Neale spent the majority of his life thriving professionally yet searching for spiritual meaning before experiencing his now-famous Conversations with God series of books that have touched millions and inspired important changes in lives across the planet. Having traveled the world extensively, Neale says there is a hunger among the people to find a new way to live in peace and harmony. His latest book, The God Solution: The Power of Pure Love, was released in 2020. Neale has created several Conversations with God outreach projects (www.CWGPortal.com) that are dedicated to helping the world move from violence to peace, from confusion to clarity, and from anger to love.

Topic: Adding Heart to Parenting — Why It's So Important NowGuest: Dr. Jorina Elbers Our guest for this episode is Dr. Jorina Elbers, a pediatric neurologist with a special interest in trauma-informed medicine and the mother of two adventurous and energetic boys. Jorina joins Deborah Rozman, our Add Heart® Podcast host, to talk about one of the world's biggest personal growth opportunities: parenting. Today's stressful world and all its unpredictable changes often create challenges in our home life. Many of today's issues are adding mental and emotional strain on parents. Our children and grandchildren feel these stressors too, which can lead to an increase in undesirable behaviors, such as acting out, talking back, not listening, etc. As their patience is tested, many parents try to correct and control their kids' attitudes and actions—without a lot of success. Jorina, who is also the program director for the Trauma Recovery Project at the HeartMath Institute, shares with Deborah how she and her husband, Owen, have found that by focusing first on their own emotional self-regulation, then tuning in to their heart for intuitive direction, their communications with their boys have become much more effective. Jorina shares with listeners a couple of powerful heart tools she uses to manage her personal energy and shift into a heart-coherent place, which enables her to reduce over-reacting to her children's undesirable behavior. She says many parents are told to just breathe to avoid reacting. However, if we don't add heart coherence to a situation, we often end up lecturing a child, which shuts down communication. Learning how to shift into heart coherence is key for increasing a parent's ability to respond in a way that empowers them in adverse situations—and kids do take notice. Jorina and Deborah also discuss how we can allow children to experience intense emotions in a healthy way. Rather than scolding their behavior, using heart-directed practices can validate their emotions, which helps to defuse their energy and allows for a deeper heart connection and communication to unfold, uncovering what's really going on. Jorina says, “When we elevate our personal energy first, get into a heart-coherent space, we can then also help our kids to elevate their energy. When you have kids and parents working together in this way, the connection and communication can be very deep and rewarding.” The episode closes with a guided heart meditation to help us energize our commitment to elevate our own energy first and better help our children. About our guest:Dr. Jorina Elbers is a pediatric neurologist with a special interest in trauma-informed medicine. She was recently an assistant professor at Stanford University and is currently the program director for the Trauma Recovery Project at the HeartMath Institute, a 501(c)3 nonprofit. She has published over 25 peer-reviewed manuscripts and book chapters and created trauma-sensitive programs for health practitioners, first responders, refugees, and parents.

Guest: Lynne Twist What is fulfillment, and how do we find it and nurture it? Our guest, Lynne Twist, shares how having a purpose larger than yourself is what leads to deep fulfillment. Lynne says when we get “off our self-centered focus, we open to new possibilities” that reward us. We're in a time when many societal structures and ways of thinking and being are giving way to something new and as yet unformed, which can leave us feeling uncertain and without direction. In her new book, Finding Fulfillment in a Purpose Larger than Yourself, Lynne explains why it's so important at this time that we listen deeply to our hearts to find and unfold our larger purpose. Lynne is a recognized global visionary who has dedicated her life to serving the greater good. She has been an advisor to the Desmond Tutu Foundation and is the recipient of the prestigious “Woman of Distinction” award from the United Nations. She helped found the World Hunger Project and the Pachamama Alliance. She sees the time we're in now as a rebirthing process for humanity and a grand opportunity to find a new vision and purpose in serving a greater whole. Lynne and host Deborah Rozman talk about why vision and purpose are essential for personal fulfillment. Their conversation explores the difference between taking a “heart stand” that unifies people rather than a “mind stance” that separates them. Lynne explains how holding a fixed position on issues is what creates judgments and polarization, blocking our ability to see or consider other perspectives. Deborah and Lynne offer hopeful insights and next steps in finding and unfolding a larger purpose. Listening to and following the heart's inclusive guidance is what will ultimately bring people together, leading to solutions that serve the greater good—and that is love. This episode closes with a heart meditation to energize your purpose and vision. About our guest:For more than 40 years, Lynne Twist has been a recognized global visionary committed to alleviating poverty, ending world hunger, and supporting social justice and environmental sustainability. Her breadth of knowledge and experience has led her to profound insights into the social tapestry of the world and the historical landscape of the times we are living in.

She helped found the World Hunger Project, the Pachamama Alliance, and is the author of the bestselling book The Soul of Money: Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Life. Her latest book, Finding Fulfillment in a Purpose Larger than Yourself tells the story of how serving a larger purpose is an important key to fulfillment.

Topic: Amplifying GratitudeGuest: Jacqueline Way Gratitude is an amplifier of heart energy and one of the quickest ways to offset stress and lift our mood. With the overwhelming stress so many people are experiencing, gratitude and appreciation count more than ever right now. The greater our capacity for genuine gratitude and appreciation, the deeper the connection to our heart—which is where intuitive guidance, inspiration, and new possibilities emerge. In this episode, Jacqueline Way, founder of 365give (a nonprofit inspired by her discovery of the power of gratitude), joins Deborah Rozman to talk about how to “change the world one give, one day at a time.” An adoptive mother of three, Jacqueline shares her inspiring story about how waking up to the power of gratitude moved her to do a yearlong experiment with her young son to give something back to the world every day for an entire year. Jacqueline and Deborah discuss how gratitude and appreciation aren't just nice gestures but powerful emotions that activate the brain’s reward pathways, feel-good hormones, and endorphins that can greatly improve our outlook on life. They share how scientists have been studying the “helper's high” that comes from giving gratitude. When we do something authentic and meaningful for others, it opens our hearts and provides us with uplift, renewal of spirit, and health benefits. The HeartMath® research lab discovered that when we sincerely feel gratitude or appreciation for family, friends, nature, or the convenient things in life, a profound change occurs in our heart rhythms. They become more synchronized and coherent, which increases mental clarity, resilience, and the well-being needed for discernment and better choices, especially in today's stressful environment. Jacqueline and Deborah provide simple suggestions on how each of us can amplify gratitude and appreciation in our own lives to quickly uplift our thoughts, feelings, and outlook. The episode closes with a beautiful heart meditation to amplify gratitude and appreciation and to see new possibilities. About our guest: Jacqueline Way is a dedicated world changer. Her purpose is to inspire and educate the hearts and minds of people globally to create happy, meaningful lives. She expresses her purpose through 365give, her charitable organization created and inspired by her son with a simple vision to “change the world one give, one day at a time.” She is a world-renowned keynote speaker with one of the most watched TEDx Talks, “How to Be Happy Every Day: It Will Change the World.” Every day she is committed to living the highest expression of who she is as a human being through her work and by touching the lives of others.

Topic – What it means to be a citizen scientist and how it can help you align with your purpose Guest – Dillon Brooks Many Gen Zers and millennials have lost trust in humanity and hope for the future. Most will tell you they're stressed much of the time. Driving their stress are feelings of being financially insecure and mentally burned out, fears over climate change, and world unrest. As a 29-year-old, Dillon Brooks is on a mission to help other millennials and Gen Zers listen to their heart to empower themselves. Dillon, a TikTok channel creator, has established a sizable TikTok community for Gen Zers and millennials called “Citizen Scientists,” and he is on a mission to help others empower themselves. Dillon and our podcast host, Deborah Rozman, discuss what it means to be a heart-centered citizen scientist and why it is important to step into this role to create the change we desire personally and collectively. Dillon and Deborah discuss the power of the heart and its ability to transform and lift perception. Dillon believes this is, in part, what the younger population is in search of. Gen Zers and millennials need to connect more deeply to themselves, according to Dillon, and become citizen scientists in all aspects of their lives: diet, exercise, sleep, stress management, mental health, and spiritual growth. He shares his foundational principles for feeling a strong sense of purpose and connectedness to others. This insightful episode closes with a heart meditation on empowering your intentions and commitments.

Guest: Dr. Allen Schoen Some of our deepest heart connections are with our pets. Whether it's a dog, cat, bird, hamster or other animal, the love and care we exchange with our pets is supportive and healing for us and for them. This undeniable energetic heart exchange with our pets is the focus of this podcast episode. Dr. Allen Schoen, our podcast guest, is a pioneer of holistic veterinary medicine and recognized as one of the most influential veterinarians worldwide for introducing an integrative approach to veterinary medicine. Dr. Schoen and our host, Deborah Rozman, explore this amazing energetic heart connection between people and pets. The therapeutic benefits associated with human-pet bonding aren't new. In fact, research has shown this powerful bond can help decrease stress, regulate breathing, lower blood pressure, and release oxytocin—a hormone associated with love. Dr. Schoen's research exploring the heart-to-heart connection of the human-pet bond suggests that without the healing power of the love of animals that uplifts people's lives, the world would be an even more stressed-out place. Animal lovers will enjoy hearing about the heart-rhythm synchronization that happens when people send love to their pets. Deborah explains these findings that come out of the HeartMath® Institute. Dr. Schoen also talks about Trans Species Field Theory: An energetic field created by the thoughts and emotions of humans and animals interacting with each other. This episode will leave you with a deeper appreciation and understanding of how we benefit energetically from the love we share with pets and how this can contribute to a healthier, happier, more conscious and harmonious world. The episode closes with a heart meditation on how our collective heart energy can help increase understanding and cooperation between humans and our animal friends. About our guest: Dr. Schoen is one of the pioneers of holistic, integrative veterinary medicine. He has been acknowledged by his peers as one of the fifteen most influential veterinarians in North America as well as worldwide for introducing the concept of an integrative approach to veterinary medicine. He's authored seven books including Complementary & Alternative Veterinary Medicine; Love, Miracles, and Animal Healing; and Kindred Spirits, and he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Association of Veterinary Acupuncture for his groundbreaking contributions to veterinary acupuncture. His new project C.A.L.M. (Conscious Animal Lovers Movement) is his approach to helping all animal lovers co-create a healthier, happier, more harmonious world.

Guest: Lynne McTaggart In this episode, award-winning journalist and author Lynne McTaggart and our host, Deborah Rozman, talk about collective intention and Lynne's research in this area. At this time in history, there is an amazing opportunity for groups of people to harness the power of collective intention to create sustainable change that can help humanity and our planet. Currently, society is mired in many outdated paradigms that no longer fit today’s world. As a result, many societal structures are falling apart, polarization between groups and inflamed biases and beliefs have become more extreme, while corruption within governments and organizations is increasingly being exposed. The power of collective intention is not a new concept, yet we are reminded, through examples that Lynne shares, of how small groups throughout history have created significant change that helped to improve and heal people's lives. Lynne shares her transformative results from bringing small groups of people with different beliefs and opposing views together to hear each other more deeply and to focus on an altruistic collective intention they all can agree on. Based on her research and HeartMath® Institute's research on collective heart coherence, Deborah and Lynne discuss how the new paradigms needed now for humanity to learn to get along with each other could very well come from small groups empowering a collective altruistic intention. This episode closes with a heart-focused meditation that walks listeners through HeartMath's Shift and Lift™ Technique. This heart-based practice is being used with groups and teams to facilitate listening more deeply to each other's hearts. About our guest: Lynne McTaggart is an award-winning journalist and the author of seven books, including the worldwide bestsellers The Power of Eight, The Field, The Intention Experiment, and The Bond—all considered seminal books of the New Science and now translated into 30 languages. She's consistently voted one of the world's top 100 spiritual leaders for her groundbreaking work with consciousness and the power of intention. Lynne is known for the quality of her writing and in-depth research, her inspirational speaking style, and her uncompromising role as a New Thought leader and spiritual change agent. In 2020, she was singled out with a special Walden Award for being a “Champion of Change.”

Guest: Agapi Stassinopoulos, best-selling author and recognized speaker In this meaningful episode, Agapi Stassinopoulos, the author of Speaking with Spirit, and Add Heart® Podcast host Deborah Rozman talk about the connection between heart and spirit. “Spirit” can mean different things to people. Some refer to their spirit as their higher self, their soul, or their connection with Source. Whatever we call it, we're acknowledging a source of wisdom that can guide us through the intuitive voice or feelings of the heart. Yet it can sometimes be a struggle to make a quality connection, especially as life is much more complicated these days. Agapi shares how she felt her heart was hurting, and she felt lost not being able to connect with people during the pandemic as she was accustomed to doing. She talks about what helped her transform her pain and sadness, which was a connection with spirit that helped her find the extraordinary in the ordinary. Deborah and Agapi discuss how we can deepen our connection to the wisdom of spirit and the heart's intuitive guidance. Deborah talks about research that demonstrates how we access intuitive guidance first through the heart—and then this information is transmitted to the brain/mind, which translates intuition into words or images that we can understand. Deborah and Agapi share how we can draw on the connection with spirit to keep our hearts open and manage our empathy and compassion for the suffering of others in today's world without the emotional drain that can affect our happiness and joy. The episode closes with a meaningful and inspiring heart meditation to enrich our connection with our heart's intuitive guidance. About our guest: Agapi Stassinopoulos is a best-selling author and speaker who inspires audiences around the world. She is the author of Wake Up to the Joy of You and most recently Speaking with Spirit: 52 Prayers to Guide, Inspire and Uplift You. Agapi was trained in London at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and received her master's degree in psychology from the University of Santa Monica. She teaches meditation and facilitates workshops for Thrive Global, a company founded by her sister, Arianna Huffington. Her previous books on the Greek archetypes, Gods and Goddesses in Love and Conversations with the Goddesses, were turned into PBS specials.

Guest: James O’Dea, author and former president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences What do you think of when you hear the word “resilience”? Many people associate the word with strength, adaptability, or a toughness that can overcome the fiercest of challenges and unexpected change. In this episode, we’re talking with James O’Dea, former president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, former Washington office director of Amnesty International, and former executive director of the Seva Foundation. James joins our podcast host, Deborah Rozman, to discuss why resilience is so key to both our personal growth and to humanity’s collective healing. They talk about the qualities of resilience we all need today in the face of growing personal, social, and global stress and uncertainty. James has witnessed the terror of war, massacre, civil upheaval, and a coup d’état. He has also witnessed the personification of resilience in people with a tremendous courage to uphold their heart values regardless of their circumstances. James explains in this episode why resilience isn’t just the ability to bounce back after a toxic disrupter or a stressful time—resilience is an energy we build in our system through honoring and living heart values, such as care, compassion, kindness, and generosity. This episode closes with a heart meditation to build resilience in our lives and to co-create a reservoir of regenerative heart energy that we can access anytime, to reduce stress and increase our capacity to remain resilient. About our guest: James O’Dea is the award-winning author of The Conscious Activist, Cultivating Peace, and Soul Awakening Practice. He is a former president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences as well as the former Washington office director of Amnesty International, where he met with U.S. presidents and foreign heads of state and represented Amnesty International to the World Conference on Human Rights. He was the executive director of the Seva Foundation and worked with the Middle East Council of Churches in Beirut during a time of war and massacre, and he lived in Turkey during civil upheaval and a coup d’état.

Topic: Adding heart to integrityGuest: Martha Beck At this time in our world, it seems that there is a global loss of integrity, and yet integrity is a highly valued trait. In this podcast episode, we are talking with Martha Beck, a life coach, speaker, columnist for O, The Oprah Magazine, and author of several bestselling books including the newly released title The Way of Integrity. Martha and our Add Heart® Podcast host Deborah Rozman discuss the connection between integrity, heart intuition, and aligning with our true selves. To live from integrity and align more with our true selves, we have to distinguish between our heart's intuitive guidance, our mind's reactions, and our emotional pulls. Martha and Deborah talk about how we can learn to know the difference.

Guest: Daniel Amen, M.D., psychiatrist, author, founder of Amen Clinics Globally, mental health issues are on the rise. A new poll from the American Psychological Association found that a large majority of Americans are reporting high stress levels due to financial concerns, inflation, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Stress and mental health are important topics anytime, but especially now, with so much uncertainty happening in our world, this time-relevant episode will give you valuable suggestions and direction for these times. High-profile athletes and celebrities, including Simone Biles, Michael Phelps, Naomi Osaka, and Prince Harry, have courageously gone public about their own mental health challenges, making it more acceptable for any of us to seek help.

Topic: Global Compassion/ Random Number generator data and findings Guest: Roger Nelson, Ph.D., director of the Global Consciousness Project and former Coordinator of Research at the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) laboratory, Princeton University for over 20 years. In this episode of the Add Heart® Podcast, host Deborah Rozman, Ph.D., and her guest Dr. Roger Nelson discuss the scientific impact of global compassion. Dr. Nelson's Global Consciousness Project (GCP) maintains a series of data collection sites worldwide that monitor for indications of a global consciousness response to major world events. They found that during emotionally resonant major events the GCP data become internally correlated. Events that embody or evoke compassion and love show statistically significant larger effects than other emotions. The more compassion evoked by the event, the larger the effect. Dr. Nelson will share how these findings indicate that compassion is a powerful connecting emotion, more powerful than fear, and a bridge that's connecting people globally—that we are all connected and the connecting fiber is compassion.

Guest: Howard Martin, Executive Vice President, HeartMath, Inc. During the pandemic, people re-evaluated their priorities and connected with deeper values regarding their relationships with family and work. Despite what it looks like on the news, many became more optimistic about the future as a result. A recent Harris Poll reported, “Sweeping research suggests the future is bright and we are rethinking, resetting, and reimagining our futures for the better. Hope and optimism are increasing, connections with friends and family are strengthening and we are re-prioritizing towards what matters to us most.” Add Heart® Podcast host Deborah Rozman, Ph.D., and her guest Howard Martin, Executive Vice President, HeartMath, Inc., talk about the awakening of the heart that is occurring around the world. They discuss a new opportunity that humanity has right now to sustain the awakening of compassion and heart connection without needing a pandemic, disasters, or other stressors to motivate us. It's in the heart that people access feelings such as compassion, care, kindness, forgiveness, and appreciation that lift us above separation, judgments, and blame. In our deeper heart, we can sense that nothing is going to change until we can start to put our heart first. Caring and genuine heart connections can help to offset stress accumulation from anxiety, fear, or panic, while clearing the mind for effective reasoning, especially when confronted with health, financial, or societal challenges. In the new edition of their book Heart Intelligence: Connecting with the Heart's Intuitive Guidance for Effective Choices and Solutions, released in February 2022, Deborah and Howard share how we can build trust in our heart's intuitive guidance and how each person's heart intelligence (heart's intuitive guidance) can help us connect to higher choices and untapped potentials. The episode closes with a heart meditation that we can use daily to energize our commitment to adding more heart to all of our relationships and connections, knowing that we are each contributing to a shift in humanity's energies from separation to cooperation and resulting in higher solutions to our global, social, and economic problems. About our guest: Howard Martin has been with HeartMath® Inc. and HeartMath® Institute organizations since their inception in 1991, serving as a key spokesperson and executive. In 1999, he co-authored The HeartMath Solution with Doc Childre, published by Harper San Francisco and considered to be a classic and the definitive work on the intelligence of the heart. Howard is also a contributing author of the new book Heart Intelligence: Connecting with the Heart's Intuitive Guidance for Effective Choices and Solutions, re-released in February 2022. He also co-produced, along with Doc Childre, the online video learning program The HeartMath Experience. As a key spokesperson, Howard has conducted countless media interviews on all of the major U.S. television networks, internationally syndicated radio, major magazines, and documentary films as well as conducting online and in-person speaking engagements and training events annually. He speaks internationally on developing the new intelligence needed to navigate life during these changing times and the importance of creating global coherence.

Guest: Ervin Laszlo, Ph.D, Founder-Director of the Laszlo Institute of New Paradigm Research For humanity to learn to get along with each other, it will require more heart. Despite the seemingly unsolvable separation and polarization between people and groups that we see, there is also an amplification of the collective heart throughout the planet. More people are realizing that we are all interconnected, and we need to help each other through increasing kindness and care. The omnipresent virus, climate change and extreme weather events, and an uncertain future are waking us up to our interdependence with each other and with nature. In this Add Heart® Podcast episode, our guest Ervin Laszlo, Ph.D, a systems scientist, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, and founder-director of the Laszlo Institute of New Paradigm Research in Italy, joins our host Deborah Rozman, Ph.D., to talk about the critical importance of this time and the essential role of the heart for the future of humanity. Ervin talks about his systems research and the quantum field and how the heart is a transmitter of information to the world. He explains how the heart helps us feel like we are part of nature and the universe and enables us to know that all things have to work together. Ervin and Deborah inspire us with their perspectives on how we can connect more with our heart day to day, to uplift our own life experience while simultaneously adding more heart to the world. Deborah closes the episode by leading us through a heart meditation that we can use to energize and deepen our intentions to add more heart to our world throughout the new year.

Guest: Nick Ortner, CEO of The Tapping Solution, LLC Mental and emotional well-being perhaps has never been more important than it is right now. As a result of the pandemic and ongoing challenges it's created, nearly three-quarters of U.S. adults say they have experienced an increase in headaches, fatigue, feeling anxious or overwhelmed, sleep challenges and so on. A Harris Poll conducted on behalf of the American Psychological Association found that more than one-third of Americans say making basic day-to-day decisions has become far more stressful (e.g., what to wear, what to eat, etc.). In this podcast, Deborah Rozman, our Add Heart® Podcast host, and her guest Nick Ortner, best-selling author of The Tapping Solution: A Revolutionary System for Stress-Free Living and CEO of The Tapping Solution, LLC, will talk about how we can better support our mental and emotional well-being during these uncertain times. Many people assume that they have no control over how they feel. Feelings and emotions often come and go with no apparent reason. Yet, HeartMath® research and Tapping research confirm that we can take charge and release or shift many unwanted feelings. We can create our way out of overwhelm, anxiety, and other stressful emotions. Deborah and Nick have both made their life's work about helping others learn how to release anger, anxiety, and depression and experience more renewing and uplifting emotions. They will share some of the hopeful research and provide helpful information along with a technique you can start using right away to increase your emotional well-being. They will share insights that can help address some of the compounding pressures we may be experiencing at this time. The podcast will close with a guided heart meditation to activate your heart power and create a reservoir of heart energy you can draw from any time you need an emotional uplift.

Guest: Erwin Valencia, Ph.D., physical therapist for the New York Knicks Scientists are confirming that gratitude has many benefits that range from emotional uplift and improved mental health to physical benefits, such as boosting the immune system. What is less commonly known is that we can repurpose the uplifting energy we experience from gratitude. Gratitude is a powerful heart quality that provides a sense of warmth and lift. When we feel gratitude, we're naturally more connected with our true selves. We can see this as an opportunity to repurpose the gratitude energy into deeper care and kindness. Because we're in a higher vibrational state, we're less inclined to get caught in worry and can see more clearly what an appropriate act of care would look like. This higher vibrational energy can also increase the effectiveness of our intentions. Deborah Rozman, Ph.D., host of the Add Heart® Podcast, and her guest Erwin Valencia, Ph.D., life coach and world-renowned physical therapist for the New York Knicks, will discuss gratitude in this fresh light. Deborah will share how we can add heart to repurpose the energetics we feel from gratitude towards people, projects, and issues that we care deeply about. In this podcast episode, Deborah and Erwin will also discuss how the science of gratitude is being used as a biohack by experts like Erwin, who specialize in the neuroscience of human performance in athletes and performance artists. Erwin will share what gratitude means to him and how he has integrated gratitude into his training with athletes. He'll share how he helps people learn to harness its power to increase their resilience, focus, and performance. This episode closes with a heart meditation to add heart to our experience of gratitude and to increase the effectiveness of our care. About our guest: Erwin Benedict Valencia, PT, DPT, MEd, ATC, CSCS, PES, CES, CHC, is a wellness expert in the world of high-performance sports. He's also a speaker, life coach, social entrepreneur, and a world-renowned physical therapist for the New York Knicks. Erwin is the founder of KinetIQ and the #BeyondMedyo Foundation.

Guest: Marilyn Tam, former president of Reebok/CCM, former CEO of Aveda Corp. What does it mean to be a leader with heart? Heart-centered leadership means to lead others with authenticity, transparency, and humility. Our leadership reflects who we are inside and needs to include the heart's intelligence in order to successfully support, guide, and encourage others. In today's world, we are all having to learn and adapt continuously. As leaders, we need to care for individuals and respond in new ways to the changes and emotional challenges people are experiencing with more presence, flow, flexibility, and connection. Deborah Rozman, Ph.D., our Add Heart® Podcast host, and her guest Marilyn Tam discuss why, in our present environment, the heart needs to be part of a leadership role—whether we're leading a company, a team or group, or a community. Marilyn Tam, former president of Reebok/CCM, former CEO of Aveda Corp. and voted one of the Top 100 Leadership Speakers in the world by Inc. Magazine, discusses with Deborah the vital importance of adding heart to leadership. Our world has changed, and people are far more inclined to do business with companies that, first and foremost, do good for their own people, their customers, clients, vendors, and the world. Deborah and Marilyn talk about why caring for people first needs to be a priority in all roles of leadership. Anyone can be a heart-centered leader if they have the commitment to practice heart-based principles. Hear about some of the practical and evidence-based ways organizations are creating collaborative and innovative work environments that support and encourage coherent teams. Deborah closes the discussion with a heart-focused meditation that we can each practice to lift our personal commitment to lead from the heart. More about our guest:Marilyn Tam, Ph.D., is a humanitarian, business leader, and author of the best-selling book The Happiness Choice, which was the 3rd most read book by businesses according to 800 CEO Read. She was formerly the CEO of Aveda Corp., President of Reebok Apparel and Retail Group, Vice President of Nike Inc., and voted one of the Top 100 Leadership Speakers in the world by Inc. Magazine. Marilyn was honored with the Tara Bodhisattva Award in 2017, conferred by the Living Saint of Thailand Venerable Mae Chee Sansanee, at the Sathira Dhammasathan in Bangkok for her compassion and humanitarian work.

Creating peace starts with living “heart first.” Humanity is in a period of profound change. Though this transformation period can be challenging, we must not lose sight of that which connects us as one human family. In a word, what connects us is heart. In this episode, we are talking about adding heart to peace and why peace is a product of heart-directed living. Deborah Rozman, Ph.D., our Add Heart® Podcast host, and her guest, sociologist, researcher, and acclaimed author Kingsley L. Dennis, Ph.D., discuss what it means to put the heart first and why it is the foundation for experiencing inner peace—and ultimately creating world peace.  Peace is a choice we can make each day by practicing heart-based qualities, such as love, care, compassion, kindness, and forgiveness. As we witness climate disruption, resource depletion, financial inequities, international conflicts, and pandemic restrictions, it can be difficult to not feel frustrated, angry, judgmental, or have blame towards others, all of which feed separation and compromise our peace. The healing of separation is essential for inner and outer peace—and many people are feeling that life is shaking us awake to this requirement. Our host and guest, Deborah and Kingsley, will discuss how peace is first an inside job that starts with the heart. They will talk about an increasing collective heart opening on the planet that will help dissipate separation and conflict between people and nations and draw hopeful solutions for the many challenges humanity is experiencing. We'll close this episode with a heart meditation to energize putting the heart first in our lives to increase our inner peace and to give peace a chance in how we interact with each other. More about our guest: Kingsley L. Dennis, Ph.D., is a sociologist and researcher. He is the co-founder of WorldShift International and co-author of the study New Media for a New Future: The Emerging Digital Landscape for a Planetary Society, produced as part of the Fuji Declaration for The Goi Peace Foundation in collaboration with the renowned global think tank Club of Budapest. He is the author of several critically acclaimed books including Healing the Wounded Mind, The Modern Seeker: A Perennial Psychology for Contemporary Times, and New Consciousness for a New World.

What does it mean to “Add Heart”? Why is it even more important now? Internal pressure has built up due to the pandemic restrictions, and with so much change and instability happening, we wonder: will there ever be a new normal? How can adding heart help? Humanity is at an important junction. Adding heart means to show up each day with the intention to engage with life and with others from the core values of our heart. Research has shown that activating attributes of the heart, such as compassion, kindness, care, generosity, and patience, can help our immune system, our mental clarity, and our decision-making. A quote often attributed to Albert Einstein is, “The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.” The feelings and qualities of the heart lift our perceptions and thinking and help us find new solutions needed personally and as a society. Our Add Heart® Podcast host Deborah Rozman, President of HeartMath, and Howard Martin, Executive Vice President, talk about why adding heart is important right now for creating our new normal. Deborah and Howard provide practical examples of how people are adding heart to everyday situations and the benefits they are experiencing. They share an effective technique to add heart as a way to prepare yourself for each day and how this can uplift and add to your mental and emotional wellbeing―as well as help others. Connecting with our heart, we can learn to rise above a lot of stress and discover new opportunities for positive change within ourselves. Deborah and Howard close with a heart meditation to energize our intention to add more heart to our lives, to situations that need energetic support, and to our environment.

After over a year of restrictions due to the global pandemic, many of us are excitedly looking forward to taking some time to get outside, relax, recharge, and connect with the playful part of ourselves this summer. There are many regenerative benefits available to us through getting outside to spend time in nature or to play that are essential to balancing our overall well-being. With the Summer Olympics almost here, it's a great time to talk about how to add heart energy to get the most out of outdoor play or exercise—whether through walking, swimming, golfing, biking, tennis, or playing with the kids or grandkids. Our Add Heart® Call host Deborah Rozman, HeartMath® President and CEO, and her guest Peter Fox, founding executive producer of ESPN and Senior Content Editor for SportsEdTV, will talk about how adding heart to sports or play increases the benefits and the fun. Peter will share how he trains people from elite athletes to couch potatoes to use HeartMath coherence techniques, and he'll provide tips that listeners can use right away. Peter will also share how professional athletes and teams are improving their skills using Heart-Focused Breathing™ and Quick Coherence® techniques. We'll close with a heart-focused meditation to build a reservoir of heart energy we can each draw on to add heart to our exercise program and play over the next month. More about our guest:Peter Fox is Senior Content Editor for SportsEdTV, the leader in online sports instruction, and managing director of SportsEdTV's Learn to Win peak performance training, powered by HeartMath research and technology. Peter was the Founding Executive Producer of ESPN. He is a HeartMath® Certified Coach and author of A Lifetime of Better Golf, produced with Golf Digest for the Natural Golf Corporation.

Patience isn’t just a virtue—it’s a necessity, especially during times of change and uncertainty. Patience is a powerful heart quality for maintaining mental and emotional well-being. It supports our ability to manage our energies with more ease and balance. When we act with impatience, our mind tries to rush energy or force outcomes, canceling the experience of flow and creating glitches in our intentions. Many of us are impatient to find a new sense of normal, yet “normal” is constantly challenged by unpredictable events. Patience is the art of intelligent waiting. Traffic jams, slow computers, and difficult people won't disappear as we practice patience. However, patience helps to attune our mental and emotional nature to the most reasonable and effective way for responding to each situation that life presents. The practice of patience enables us to quietly sense our heart's intuitive directions to guide us in making more effective choices. We invite you to join our Add Heart Call host Deborah Rozman, HeartMath President and CEO, and her guest Charlene Johnson, Nurse Manager of Perinatal Services at Kaiser Permanente South Sacramento, as they talk about why, in today's uncertain energetic environment, it's prime time to increase our patience baseline and make it an essential part of our new norm. Charlene sees patience as a key component of resilience. She will share why patience has been an important quality for her and the people she serves, especially throughout the past year of the pandemic. Deborah will share an exercise we can all use to replace impatience with patience and how, as we replace impatience with inner ease and patience, our responses will play out with more balance, resilience, and clearer discernment. We will close with a heart-focused meditation to add heart to our intention to practice a deeper patience with ourselves and with others over the next month and create a reservoir of heart energy we can each tap into whenever we need a patience booster. More About Our Guest:Charlene Johnson has been with Kaiser Permanente for 20 years. She is passionate about assisting the health care professional in transforming themselves so that they can transform the systems in which they work. She loves to inspire others to discover their purpose and increase their personal effectiveness. As the Nurse Manager of Perinatal Services at Kaiser, she oversees Labor and Delivery, Postpartum, and the Special Care Nursery. She is also a Caritas Coach and a HeartMath Certified Trainer for the Northern California region. Charlene was instrumental in co-creating “Enhancing a Culture of Caring,” a four-part series that was rolled out to all the Northern California staff.

Many philosophers and sages have spoken about the paradox of how what is soft can be strong. Think about water: It is fluid, soft, and yielding, and yet it has the power to overcome anything in its path, even that which appears rigid and hard. Tapping into higher heart qualities that embody both strength and softness allow us to rise up and meet each situation with kindness, care, love, compassion, and more clarity. Our Add Heart® Call host, Deborah Rozman, Ph.D., HeartMath® President and CEO, along with her guest Owen Ward, HeartMath Chief Strategy Officer, will talk about a “softener energetic” and how we can access it to help us find more flexibility and ease through whatever life presents. Many people find while walking on the beach or in the woods or looking at flowers that they are softening the energetic field within themselves, and then many things start to become clear. They access more effective discernment for their next steps. Deborah and Owen will also talk about what it means to soften the energetic environment within and around us—making it easier for others to access their hearts and experience increased clarity and discernment and a deeper connection. As a business executive and parent of two young boys, Owen will share how adding a softener energy helped him better handle business complexities. In addition, through the COVID-19 restriction period of the past year, like millions of other parents, Owen had to balance work with children at home as well as their homeschooling. He'll share how the softener energy helped him and his family during times of frustration and anxiety. Deborah will share how broadcasting or radiating love is one of quickest ways to soften the energetic environment to improve relationships, reduce mechanical reactions and habits, and have more ease when dealing with health and other personal issues. She will also share how adding a softener helps her and others release themselves from the planetary stress and anxiety waves that many people feel when chaotic events occur around the planet. We will close with a heart-focused meditation to add heart to softening our personal energetic environment and the global energetic field environment. We will also build a reservoir of soft heart energy we can each access as needed during the next month.

How Deepening Our Relationship with Each Other Can Help Heal Earth with special guest, Jude Currivan, Ph.D., co-founder of WholeWorld-View Earth Day is April 22. It's a special day to honor and appreciate our beautiful planet. Scientific research has confirmed what most of us feel—that we are deeply interconnected with nature and the Earth. Our heart and brain rhythms are influenced by Earth's rhythms and magnetic fields. Our Add Heart Call host, Deborah Rozman, Ph.D., HeartMath Inc. President, and her guest, Jude Currivan, Ph.D., co-founder of WholeWorld-View and author of the upcoming book Gaia: Her-Story, will talk about why healing our human relationships and loving each other are essential to healing our relationship with the Earth. Earth is constantly giving to us. So how do we reciprocate the energetic care and support we receive from Mother Earth? When we love and care for someone, we celebrate their well-being and are grateful for their gifts. The theme of Earth Day this year is Restore our Earth. Jude and Deborah will talk about how, as we honor our heart connection with Planet Earth, we facilitate humanity in creating a new story. They will share how the practice of intentionally adding heart-coherent energy to the Earth's energetic fields not only helps us as individuals but uplifts all living beings and the Earth herself. Loving Earth and all her creatures contributes to creating a better world where the power of love can help to energetically heal our human relationships as well. We will close with a heart-focused meditation to energize our personal commitment to adding more heart and gratitude to our beautiful Planet Earth and to healing all our relationships. About our guest:Jude Currivan, Ph.D., is a cosmologist, planetary healer, author, and co-founder of WholeWorld-View. She was previously one of the most senior business women in the UK. She has worked with wisdom keepers of many traditions and holds a Ph.D. in archaeology from the University of Reading in the UK, researching ancient cosmologies, and a master's degree in physics from Oxford University, specializing in cosmology and quantum physics. She is the author of The Cosmic Hologram- In-formation at the Center of Creation, the first book of the Transformation trilogy. She is currently writing book two, Gaia: Her-Story.

The heart – it makes us better at every level individually and collectively. While separation, conflict, mistrust, and misunderstanding continue to create chaos within societies and between nations, there's a stronger force emerging with an even greater momentum – that force is the heart and it's awakening in millions of people around the world. Increasing numbers of people are experiencing their heart's stirring and reaching out. For some it's a quiet pull or nudge to connect and participate, while for others it's a powerful need to step up and act in ways that facilitate togetherness and meaningful heart-felt connection. Our Add Heart Call host, Deborah Rozman, HeartMath CEO and President, will be joined by Gavin Andrews, Managing Director of HeartMath in the UK and Ireland to talk about a growing heart-directed movement that's currently happening throughout the world. It's happening with people who want to connect more with their own heart and with the hearts of others. This is what inspired Gavin to start the “WeAddHeart” initiative, an international momentum of small groups coming together, online, to experience simple but powerful heart-focused meditations and practices. These practices are improving personal health and happiness, while helping participants feel they are energetically playing a part in raising social and global consciousness with the aim of creating greater fairness, understanding and peace between peoples and nations. Deborah and Gavin will discuss their observations of the momentum of heart awakening and how why people's hearts are saying now is the time to bring our lofty, idealistic dreams of peace and equality down to earth and into reality. People are realizing they have to take a heart stand to do this for themselves, their country and the planet. An outcome of the global pandemic is the recognition that although physically separated we can still come together in the heart online and make a difference with initiatives like WeAddHeart, which provide a platform for accelerated heart awakening and connection. We'll close with a heart-focused meditation to energize this growing heart awakening and our personal role in this momentum through our deeper care and connection.

Reducing separation, divisiveness and fear through the power of the heart From one perspective it may seem as though the human race is more divided than ever. 2020 was a year of events that amplified racial and political separation. And the global pandemic forced much of the world's population into physical separation, creating divisiveness and fear. These and other global challenges are awakening many more people to the realization that we finally have to cooperate and care more to find solutions. A desire for more caring and cooperative interaction is increasing all over the planet. Deeper compassion, care, kindness and cooperation are powerful energies of love that connect us to each other. Broadcasting or radiating these transformational heart energies into the field of consciousness helps to accelerate the cooperation and unity needed to find solutions. Our understanding of the intelligence and effectiveness of the power of the heart is in its early stages—yet it's on the rise due to increasing stress and a desperate need for solutions that the mind cannot deliver without the heart. During this month's Add Heart Call, our host Deborah Rozman, HeartMath President and CEO, and her guest Claudia Welss, Chairman of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, will talk about the global movement toward deeper care and connection. They will share ways we can each broadcast or radiate love into the energetic field environment to create more care and connection in our personal lives and help the planet at the same time. You'll also hear about a growing global initiative that is empowering people to connect with their hearts and the hearts of others—to live more fully from the heart and to add more heart to the world. We'll close with a heart-focused meditation to add heart to deeper care and connection and to our personal commitments for greater compassion and love.

Most of us have experienced being near someone whose energetic vibration or presence helped us feel more comfortable and at ease. Now, research is helping to explain how our vibrational energies, especially our moods and emotions affect others, as well as this discovery's implications for humanity. During this time of the COVID-19 pandemic, when virtual meetings and physical distancing are expressions of care, new research is indicating how we can energetically support and lift each other's vibrations and the planetary vibration even though we are apart. Join Deborah Rozman and her guest, HeartMath Institute Director of Research Rollin McCraty, PhD, who will discuss exciting research findings on how heart-to-heart synchronization can occur between people located miles apart and without phone or online contact. They will also discuss new findings on how our heart's rhythms can synchronize with the resonant frequencies in the Earth's magnetic fields. One implication of this interconnectivity research is that synchronized heart energy can potentially help raise the planetary vibration and lift human consciousness. Rollin McCraty will also talk about how collective heart-focused intention (such as what we may help create in these Add Heart Calls) might foster a reservoir of coherent heart energy that can redirect planetary consciousness toward harmonious solutions. We will close with a heart-focused meditation to energize our intentions to add more heart to increase our personal and social coherence, and help raise the planetary vibration.

As we look back on 2020 and prepare for 2021, we know that our world is different now and changing in unpredictable ways. This is leaving many people feeling anxious, depressed or fearful of the future. At the same time, more people are realizing the importance of connecting with the attributes of their heart and its intuitive guidance for uplifting their spirit and bringing new perspectives for effective choices. In our Add Heart Call, our host Deborah Rozman and her guests, HeartMath LLC Executive Vice President Howard Martin and Chief Strategy Officer Owen Ward, will share how they and the HeartMath team used the power and intelligence of their hearts to uplift their spirit as they navigated the often tumultuous ups and downs of this past year. Howard, Owen and Deborah will describe how using tools like the power of neutral, higher dignity and wholeness-inclusive care along with their heart's intuitive guidance created what we call “turn-arounds.” This uplifted their perceptions, prevented much energy loss and magnetized new opportunities. Learning how to uplift your spirit and draw in new perceptions, ideas and solutions in the face of challenges is a powerful skill that we each can practice as we begin 2021. We'll close with a heart focused meditation to energize our heart-powered intentions to create new opportunities for a new year.

The holidays are approaching and people are rethinking how to celebrate, given the pandemic and increasing stress levels. One powerful and effective way we can support our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being is to practice sincere appreciation for the good things in our lives that we value. Appreciation has two meanings: a feeling or expression of admiration, approval or gratitude; and to increase in value. This month, our Add Heart Call host and HeartMath President, Deborah Rozman, will talk about appreciation as a powerful core heart quality that can quickly uplift us and those we care about. Deborah's guest, Jon Berghoff, will share a process called Appreciative Inquiry that we can use during virtual or in-person holiday gatherings as well as at other times, in any conversation that allows for wisdom, intelligence and strength to be unlocked together. Jon is the founder of the XCHANGE Approach, a scientific approach to unlocking collective wisdom in any group. Appreciative Inquiry is a process for searching for the best of what was, is or could be within any individual, family, group or organization. It means noticing aspects of experience in ways that bring more value to conversations and bring out the best of what's available within each of us. We'll close with a heart-focused meditation to energize our intentions to add more heart to our own appreciation and reap the benefits during the next month. A little more about our guest:Jon is the founder of the XCHANGE Approach, a scientific approach to unlocking collective wisdom in any group. These are extraordinary times calling for exponential conversations. This is why innovative leaders have come to XCHANGE as the solution for bringing together companies, communities and customers in powerful ways, including a method called Appreciative Inquiry. Jon studied under David L. Cooperrider, who created the Appreciative Inquiry approach at the Weatherhead School of Management, Case Western Reserve University.

There's so much happening in our world on many different fronts. Current events and issues are exposing divisiveness, polarized perceptions, truths and non-truths. It's all swirling around like energetic cyclones wreak havoc on our emotional and mental resilience. Many people are recognizing the way to find greater discernment and more ease through these times is by committing to the daily renewal of heart qualities – increasing our care and kindness, extending more compassion and understanding, and deepening our connection with our own heart and with others. In this Add Heart Call, our host, HeartMath LLC President Deborah Rozman. and our special guest, HeartMath Certified Trainer Sandy Travis, will share one more heart quality that's important to practice during unpredictable times: using the power of the heart to access a state called “Neutral” to maintain an active calm that builds our resilience capacity. Stress accumulates and depletes our resilience. When we're low on resilience, we are more susceptible to adding drama to issues we don't like or agree with. This creates an energy drain, compromising our mental/emotional balance and health. Learning how we can employ the power of neutral for more discernment is key to handling today's challenging and polarizing times with more ease and inner balance. Neutral helps to free us from biases and “knowing what we know” to bring in more objective clarity. It enables us to better discern facts from emotionally fueled misinformation. Resting in neutral in the heart opens the door to seeing new possibilities. Deborah Rozman will share how the power of “Neutral” has been invaluable throughout her nearly 2-month evacuation experience as a result of recent California wildfires. She'll talk about how during a crisis, using the power of neutral enabled her and others at HeartMath to more effectively sort incoming data and information as the situation unfolded. Sandy Travis is a seasoned international HeartMath coach and trainer that works with diverse corporate environments and international organizations. She has presented numerous opportunities that validated for her how practicing Neutral brings more objectivity and clarity and builds heart power and resilience. We'll close with a heart focused meditation to energize our intentions to add more heart to our practice of Neutral over the next month of political and global changes and to areas of our personal life where practicing Neutral could give us more objectivity and less energy drain. More About Sandy Travis: Sandy's career spanned the globe with international clients such as the African Development Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Sri Lankan Business Development Center, projects for the United States Agency for International Development, and clients in South Africa and England. Using her expertise in negotiation, creativity and working with high-performance teams, she has served clients in the forest products, aluminum, aerospace, tourism and banking industries. She is a HeartMath Certified Trainer and has been practicing HeartMath® coherence building techniques for over a decade. She has now made HeartMath tools and technology her primary focus for her coaching and consulting with individuals, teams and organizations.

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused many unexpected changes for all of us, including our children. The experiences of sheltering in place, isolation, virtual learning and ongoing uncertainty have created anxiety for children and parents alike. In addition, the typical summer activities our kids look forward to all year were significantly altered due to pandemic-related shutdowns and community mandates. As the school year opens in its various forms, parents and children of all ages continue to experience anxiety and depression that need heart support. Our Add Heart Call guest, Dr. Jorina Elbers, MD, is a neurologist who specializes in pediatric neurology. Formerly an assistant professor at Stanford's Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, Jorina is the director of the Trauma Recovery Project at the HeartMath Institute, helping to develop a trauma recovery program. Jorina is also the mother of 2 young boys and is struggling with homeschooling and virtual learning for her children, just as so many parents are during the pandemic. Jorina and our host Deborah Rozman, PhD, who is the HeartMath CEO and a behavioral psychologist, will discuss how parents can find balance during these times and can recognize signs of distress in their children, as children are especially sensitive to what their parents and caregivers are feeling. They'll also offer suggestions on how to help children when they're feeling stressed, anxious or sad. We'll close the Add Heart Call with a heart-focused meditation to add heart to children and families, helping create an energetic heart environment of love, security and stability to help people navigate these times with more ease and balance.

Many people are feeling a heart prompting to make a difference in their communities – and ultimately the world. We want to contribute to a sustainable shift that reflects the true values of heart-based living. We're grateful to have James Miles, PhD, an expert in community engagement working to heal and empower African American communities, as our Add Heart Call guest. James and Deborah Rozman, our Add Heart Call host and HeartMath CEO, will be discussing what's working and already making a difference in communities that need to heal and overcome separations and inequalities. James has found real change requires a change of heart, not just a change of regulations and topical adjustments. He will share inspiring stories from his work with inner city youth and adults. At first, a change of heart may sound a bit soft or even impossible, yet James has found that integrating tools and methods to access the heart's intelligence facilitates sustainable change. James and Deborah will talk about the heart and its intelligence as necessary street smarts for all community environments that want to thrive. Ultimately, for people of different races, religions, and beliefs to finally move beyond historical separations, the heart will provide the needed guidance and intelligence for all people to harmoniously interact with each other and co-create new solutions. We'll close with a heart-focused meditation that can help each of us identify how we can show up within our own communities and contribute to making a sustainable difference. More About James Miles:James has integrated HeartMath's emotional self-regulation and resilience tools into the work he is doing to heal and empower African American communities.

During this unprecedented and challenging time, it's become more important than ever to Add Heart, to help ease the separations and promote healing.More people are feeling that it's both essential and highly possible to co-create a world in which treating each other with more kindness, compassion and respect is common sense. Michael Nila, this month's Add Heart Call guest, will share his experience and what he thinks it will take for communities to start healing from long-standing divisions and injustices. Michael is the managing partner of Blue Courage, facilitating The HeartMath Institute in bringing HeartMath's tools to police departments and community service agencies. He re-engineered police departments from being traditional police agencies into community-oriented departments. Blue Courage focuses on the heart and mind, which represent the foundation for making good decisions and enhancing one's capacity to serve honorably. Communities across the nation and abroad are calling for new strategies and policies that will bring people together and respect and honor cultural diversity. Michael will share how this co-creation process might work and why adding heart can help. Our host, Deborah, will lead us through a heart meditation to Add Heart to the healing process of all communities and to the necessary changes that will help to bring our communities together in compassionate cooperation. More about Michael Nila:Michael is the 2016 recipient of the Attorney General's Award for Meritorious Public Service and the HeartMath Institute's Humanitarian Heart Award, in recognition for improving the health and well-being of policing through resilience training.

The past few months the pandemic and recent protest demonstrations have illuminated the importance of community and also where healing and cooperation are needed within our communities. Love, compassion, kindness and cooperation have been sparsely represented in our collective social consciousness for far too long. These transformative qualities of heart need to be more than spiritual ambitions, they need to become our new normal and adopted as practical street sense. In many ways, the pandemic and the demonstrations have inspired us to reach out and care more, be vulnerable about what we're experiencing, and realize how grateful we are to have each other. Now we're being challenged to expand this active heart to the wider global community of all people. In our hearts, we know we're all connected. The hope for the future is to act on this deeper experience of heart connection and realize that if we care, we can all get along and help each other. In this month's Add Heart Call, we're focusing on the new emerging values of community and how we all play a role in sustaining active heart and understanding for the whole community to co-create the highest best future for everyone.

Many countries and states in the USA are easing restrictions and allowing businesses to reopen, while others are still under lockdown or “sheltering in place” to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The financial consequences have been devastating. At the same time, health care workers on the front lines are concerned about a second wave of COVID-19 patients if restrictions are eased too soon. In this special Add Heart Call, join HeartMath Inc CEO Deborah Rozman and Gayle Novack, Chief Nursing Officer and Incident Commander for Emergency Services Management at Ascension St. John Hospital in Detroit, Michigan, a COVID-19 hot spot. Deborah and Gayle will discuss the challenges we all face now during this stage of the pandemic. Gayle has been a registered nurse for 49 years, having always worked in acute care hospitals. Much of her service has been in clinical leadership. She will share how HeartMath's Resilience Advantage™ tools are helping health care workers. She will share stories from the front line and how health care workers are utilizing HeartMath techniques to help themselves and COVID-19 patients – techniques we can all use to maintain emotional poise and resilience during these times. We will close with a heart meditation to send our compassion and appreciation to health care workers for their selfless care. We will also continue to fill a reservoir of heart energy that we all can draw upon during this next month to help sustain and energize our personal resilience and add much-needed compassion and care to the energetic field environment.

Healthcare workers around the world are selflessly putting themselves at risk as they treat patients affected by the coronavirus.

February is National Heart Month, including Valentine's Day. What better time to talk about adding heart to our relationships. Host Deborah Rozman's guest this month is Dr. Lise Janelle, coach and author of Conversations with the Heart and You are Loved, and a member of the Transformational Leadership Council. Lise will share how she works with clients to connect with the power of their heart to heal relationships and the importance of leading with the heart to create successful relationships. Deborah will talk about two HeartMath keys for creating deeper heart connection and improving relationships: Deep heart listening – Listening from your heart without interruption. Listening from a place of genuine care, even if the issues aren't yet resolved, can provide tremendous release.Compassionate latitude – Having compassion for another's experience and what they may be feeling without judging Compassion helps raise the vibration of the individual and collective environment. It helps us connect with our higher reasoning capacity to make smarter choices while managing the infectious waves of stress and insecurity that are on the rise. Latitude is an attitude that includes qualities such as being less critical and more patient and tolerant with each other yet not having to agree with or condone another's views or actions. We'll close with a heart-focused meditation to amplify our hearts connections and re-energize our commitments to increasing our compassionate latitude and deep heart listening in our relationships.

In his often repeated quote, Albert Einstein says, “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.” It's now heart time on the planet, and individually and collectively, we have the opportunity to write the next chapter of what it means to be human.

They will discuss why heart intelligence is key to rewiring human consciousness and reshaping our collective story. We'll close with a heart meditation to amplify our connection to our heart's intelligence in the New Year. We'll energize our individual and collective commitments to live more from the heart in 2020 and realize that we are co-creating the new human story.

It's the holiday season — a time when people all over the world celebrate holidays and connect more with their hearts as they share kindness and care. Research findings have shown that we influence each other more than we may realize through energetic fields that surround us. Though they are invisible to most, these fields are generated from our thoughts, feelings and emotions. In this month's Add Heart Call, join Deborah Rozman, our host and HeartMath Inc.'s CEO, as well as her guests, HeartMath leaders Rollin McCraty — who is the HeartMath Institute director of research — and Howard Martin, HeartMath Inc.'s executive vice president. Together, they will talk about the energetic fields that surround us and the unique opportunity to utilize the amplification of the holiday energies to add more heart coherence to help lift our personal, social and global consciousness. Together, we'll close with a heart meditation to amplify our intentions to practice more care, compassionate latitude, patience and kindness throughout the holidays. Doing this helps lift the energy field, which makes it easier for others to feel their own hearts and a lift in their spirits. With a little practice, this can become our new way of life — a new normal — for the new year.

There are moments that draw our appreciation; acknowledgment for our efforts on a project, a warm smile from someone passing by, a surprisingly quick-moving checkout line at the grocery store. We're grateful for a beautiful day and for our loved ones. When we give appreciation to others, it uplifts them and us. Appreciation and gratitude are qualities of the heart that bring happiness. In this month's Add Heart Call, our host, Deborah Rozman, Ph.D. and HeartMath CEO, and our special guest, Marci Shimoff, a #1 New York Times bestselling author of Happy for No Reason and Love for No Reason, will discuss how we can refresh and amplify our gratitude and appreciation as a daily practice. Marci will share how gratitude affects our “happiness set-point” and why it's so important to practice appreciation or gratitude consciously. Deborah and Marci will discuss scientific research on the impact of gratitude on our health and offer several powerful daily practices that can increase our experience of gratitude in life. With the holiday season quickly approaching, it's also a good time to talk about the risks of over-giving and the challenge of receiving. Marci will share her insights on these issues. We'll close with a heart-focused meditation to refresh our connection with gratitude and appreciation – and set our intention to energize these heart qualities. Marci is a highly sought-after international speaker and the cofounder of “Your Year of Miracles.” She has penned several books, including the New York Times Bestseller Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul.

In today's rapidly changing world, resilience is a must-have skill. Here at HeartMath, we define resilience as the ability to prepare for, recover from, and adapt in the face of stress, challenges, or adversity. It's helpful to think of being resilient as a healthy way of living instead of as a needed action. While resilience is about bouncing back from unexpected challenges, we can also become so conditioned to certain daily behaviors that we don't realize how much they drain our energy reserves. Our Add Heart Call guest this month is Claudia Weber, an expert in the field of helping people build resilience Claudia is an information technology manager at Intel Corporation. She helps optimize operational effectiveness and employee satisfaction — and she is a HeartMath Certified Corporate Trainer and Resilience Coach for Intel. Claudia has trained more than 2,000 corporate employees at Intel utilizing HeartMath tools and technology. As a result of the training, these employees, including many veterans, are effectively reducing stress and anxiety. Deborah Rozman, HeartMath CEO and host of the Add Heart Calls, will discuss with Claudia how we can build more self-awareness of draining behaviors to save energy. They'll also talk about simple, effective practices that can help us power up our resilience capacity. We'll close the call with a heart meditation to set our intention to add more heart power to resilience over the next month.

People hope and pray for world peace; however, more are recognizing that peace must begin within their own hearts. Peace is not something we seek but something we can create by aligning our hearts, minds and emotions. Join host Deborah Rozman, Ph.D, the CEO of HeartMath and our guest Sheva Carr for this month's Add Heart Call. The International Day of Peace is September 21. Deborah and Sheva will talk about how adding heart power can create more peace within our own lives and in the world. Sheva will share some of the extraordinary (and courageous) grass roots movements happening around the world in service to and as a heart stand for peace. Sheva is the founding Executive Director of Heart Ambassadors, The Fyera Foundation and Sunflower SunPower Kids. She is also the Co-Vice President of United Nations Peace Messenger Organization, Pathways to Peace, as well as a team member of 3x Nobel Peace Prize Nominee Scilla Elworthy's global initiative “The Business Plan for Peace.” Recently, Sheva was part of a team invited to present a workshop at the United Nations 2019 edition of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Learning, Training & Practices. There she shared the best practices for empowering individuals by increasing personal coherence and creating peaceful societies through peer-to-peer collaboration and coherence. We'll close the session with a heart-focused meditation to Add Heart to our own inner peace and to the many heart-based peace initiatives happening on the planet.

The rise of employee stress has escalated to such a level that burnout is now classified as an occupational phenomenon according to the World Health Organization. Talking about feelings or heart in a company used to be seen as weak or “touchy-feely”. Yet now we're seeing an emerging trend – an opening of heart within companies. Mental and emotional health and the mind-body connection are becoming a critical part of a company's overall wellness strategies. Many companies are engaging in stress management programs that include exercise, yoga, mindfulness and meditation. Yet these programs take time and many employees don't continue with them. Robert Erdbrink, Director of HeartMath Benelux, is helping companies in Europe understand heart-mind-body connection and providing them with tools and technology they can use in the moment to reduce stress and burnout. The results are so significant that the entire Dutch police force has adopted this heart-based program. Join us for this month's Add Heart Call with Robert as our guest and our host, Deborah Rozman, Ph.D, President and CEO of HeartMath. Robert will share inspiring stories of what the HeartMath Benelux team is achieving with companies and the opening of heart that is occurring in Europe.

Social media is a major influence in the lives of many people. It is an avenue for self-expression, a place to connect with others, and be swayed by others' likes and posts. Social media isn't just a place for videos, memes and small talk. It often shapes how people view the world. Social media is an important avenue to add heart and nurture our personal connections and the causes we care about. It has the potential to create networks of people who want to help uplift each other and humanity. In this Add Heart Call, host Deborah Rozman and her guest, social media expert and author, Mari Smith, will talk about how to use social media in positive ways that connect us more deeply with each other and the planet.

When it comes to our health or the health of someone we care about, it's important to create an environment where heart qualities of care, kindness and compassion are part of our healing plan. Our topic this month is Add Heart to Health, and our guest, Tim Culbert, MD, is Medical Director of Integrative Services, at Prairie Care Medical Group in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and co-founder of new website www.naturalmentalhealth.com.

Dr. Culbert will talk about how he “adds heart” to his own personal wellness practices and how he teaches his patients, whether adults or children, to do the same, with amazing benefits. Self-management skills and tools for increasing heart power and coherence give us a sense of control over our health journey and process. Whether you are the patient, the family caregiver, or the health care professional, heart-intelligent strategies elevate our ability to care for and heal our self, our family or our patients from a foundation of love and compassion. You'll also enjoy learning about a growing community of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers who are committed to heart-based medicine and helping it to expand into a worldwide initiative.

Sparking this month's Add Heart Call discussion, is the growing need for “compassionate latitude” for others and for ourselves. In a just-released Gallup poll, more than half of Americans are reporting record levels of stress and worry. Rising stress levels are also occurring in the UK and Europe with uncertainty about the future of Brexit and polarizing politics of separation vs. inclusiveness. Deborah Rozman and her guest, Gavin Andrews, Managing Director of HeartMath® UK and Ireland, will talk about the importance of having “compassionate latitude” during these times, what that really means and how to practice it to the benefit of all. Gavin will talk about the impact of these changes in the UK. He'll also share about a simultaneous new awakening to heart awareness and connection that's bringing hope to many. Compassion is one of the highest supportive energetics of love, but compassion can easily slide into unmanaged empathy or pity. Adding the qualities of latitude and allowance can lift our compassion to a higher vibration. As we practice compassionate latitude, it provides us with a larger, nonjudgmental perspective and an unconditional love and desire for the highest outcome for situations and all concerned. We'll close with a heart-focused meditation to lift our vibration and add heart-powered intention to our practice of compassionate latitude in all our interactions. This includes how we interact with our self. In addition to being the Managing Director of HeartMath UK and Ireland, Gavin Andrews is also a consultant, coach and trainer specializing in leadership/management development and performance. He is a firm believer in authentic self-leadership and the use of emotional self-regulation and positive psychology to achieve resilience and high performance.

Have you found that your efforts to relieve stress don't seem to be working as well as they used to? Perhaps it's because today's stress is different than even a few years ago. April is National Stress Awareness month and we're excited to have as our guest, Heidi Hanna, Ph.D., executive director of the American Institute of Stress, a nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing awareness about stress and educating medical practitioners, scientists, health care professionals and the public about the effects of stress. Heidi is also a HeartMath® Certified Trainer who teaches “Stress Mastery.” She will be joining our host Deborah Rozman, Ph.D., President of HeartMath for this month's Add Heart Call. Heidi and Deborah will talk about why being aware of our stress is important, but more importantly they'll share strategies that allow us to take charge of stress from the inside out. Most stress interventions provide only temporary relief and the next day we're back in the stress bath. This is due to the cumulative effect of ongoing stress and anxiety. In this Add Heart Call, Deborah and Heidi will be talking about simple and proven ways to prevent and release today's stress accumulation by opening the heart, reducing drama, and practicing compassion and self-compassion. Join us for this uplifting call on transforming stress and riding the waves of change. We'll close this Add Heart Call with a heart-meditation that we will do together, and you can use anytime for releasing and preventing stress, and for making effective choices.
