HQ-Heart Intelligence

This book is an excellent introduction to the work of IHM, Institute of HeartMath, led by Doc Lew Childre, with key contributions from Deborah Rozman, Rollin McCraty, Sara Hatch Paddison, and Howard Martin. They have researched and tapped into a central resource, the "heart intelligence" or HQ used in the Chinese translation of The HeartMath Solution. The "heart" is not merely the symbolic seat of wisdom and feelings, common in many cultures, such as the Chinese and Hebrew, but an actual organ of intelligence. The author made useful distinctions between Care and Overcare, Lower and Higher Heart Feelings and proposed Cut-Thru techniques that teach people how "to cut thru the gordian knot" of emotional stress. Caring for yourself and balanced care for others release good hormones, raises anti-aging DHEA, while overcare induces stress and increases cortisol. Lower heart feelings are sentiment, attachment, expectation and sympathy. Higher heart feelings are genuine love, care, appreciation, compassion, patience, humor, courage, forgiveness, security and kindness. The heart is more than just a mechanical pump. Like the brain, it influences information-processing capabilities. The heart has its own electromagnetic fields and it informs the brain and directly affect perception, reaction speeds, and decision-making ability. "Cut-Thru practice allows heart, emotions, brain, and mind to entrain and become coherent, giving you the coherent power needed to access this dimension of your own intuitive intelligence." Anxiety and stress induce incoherent heart frequencies. The whole concept of COHERENCE is a fascinating focus for further studies. Here we not only have innovative theories based on research, corroborated by recent writings like, Molecules of Emotion, Second Brain, but also a whole series of techniques to develop such resources. If it doesn't get over-commercialized and deteriorate into a passing fad, Heart Intelligence will greatly benefit humankind. Cut-Thru is very easy to read and follow. However, if you just want to read one book on the work of IHM, The HeartMath Solution may be a more comprehensive and updated choice, with other extremely useful techniques, such as Freeze-Frame and Heart Lock-In.
