Dr. Michael Barry, director of pastoral care for the Cancer Treatment Centers of America, Eastern Regional Medical Center, in Philadelphia, PA

Once again the masters of the heart and mind connection have developed brave new inroads into the realm of humankind. It is no wonder that we continue to see magic from their insights. HeartMath is an unending guide to the inner self, the evolutionary brain and the enigmatic heart. My own experiences with HeartMath continue to underscore their unique approach to health and wellbeing. Outstanding selfdirected knowledge, provided by their new approach to anxiety, not only serves to create better indi viduals and leaders, but ultimately better companies. —Cathy L. Greenberg, Ph.D., physical anthropologist; cofounder and managing partner of h2c (Happy Companies, Healthy People); and coauthor ofWhat Happy Companies Know.

The wellbeing and health benefits that can accrue when people apply the techniques developed by HeartMath can have a signifi cant positive impact on oftenincapacitating symptoms associated with anxiety and related syndromes. HeartMath techniques can have an impact on the biological mechanisms that underpin these conditions not only in individuals but groups of individuals in an organization. In my experience, HeartMath is an immensely power ful set of tools, as individuals with anxiety can learn to recognize and modify their own response, reducing the negative affect that anxiety and anxietyinduced symptoms can have on their wellbeing and overall health. —Tony Yardley-Jones, FFOM, FRCS, Ph.D., DipMedAc, director of West Berkshire Occupational Health at Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading, UK

This latest work from HeartMath is a model for other selfhelp books. The reader is actually taught easytouse strategies that can resolve anxiety and other problems in living. HeartMath strategies can be learned and used without professional assistance or they can be taught by practitioners whose goal is to empower their clients. The case studies give the reader hope and confidence. I teach HeartMath concepts in many countries and have found them highly effective with people of widely diverse cultural, geographic, and reli gious characteristics. HeartMath methods produce healing whether used by themselves or in conjunction with the friendly biofeedback devices famously pioneered by the HeartMath team, which is to say that I have found them to work as well on an isolated tsunamirav aged beach as in a comfortable clinic. I strongly recommend this book both to individuals seeking to treat themselves, and to their teachers. —John Hartung, Psy.D., clinical psychologist and teacher at the Colorado School of Professional Psychology, and coauthor ofEnergy Psychology and EMDR

It is a road map to inner peace and a greater sense of fulfillment. —Dan Baker, Ph.D., founding director of the Life Enhancement Center at Canyon Ranch and adjunct faculty member at the University of Arizona, College of Medicine

Our clients are pleased and so are we with the effectiveness HeartMath brings into our clinical practice.

Dedication

Transforming Anxietydedicated to the millions of people is experiencing increasing levels of worry and anxiety in these rapidly changing times. Anxiety is an understandable response to change and uncertainty, but it can be progres-sively managed and transformed. From the power of your own heart’s intent, you can learn to diminish anxiety reac-tions as they happen and rebalance your system more quickly after anxiety overload. And, with practice, you can increas-ingly prevent getting overloaded, especially by some of the same old situations. At the pace that stress is increasing in the world, neither technology nor other people will be able to free you from anxiety and stress, because it’s an individual, inside job. Often people try to practice less stressful attitudes but are still overcome by the weight of a situation. Our intent is to make it easier for you to light a new fire in your commitments to stick with less stressful attitudes and responses to life’s chal-lenges. The power to do so is within the intelligence of your own heart, which you already own. Often, to connect with the depth and strength of your heart’s intelligence, you need hope. The tools provided in this book are designed to help you build your own hope as you go, which is empowerment in action.
