Welcome to the Special Care Focus – Heart Connection Matters. In order for everyone around the world to participate in a synchronized Care Focus, on every Wednesday in August, September and October, we have chosen three convenient times: 4 a.m., 12:00 p.m. (noon), and 8 p.m. Pacific Time (GMT/UTC minus 7 hours)*. Please join with others on the Global Coherence App. We will do a special care focus every Wednesday.

Let’s start by connecting in the heart with everyone participating in the Special Care Focus and radiating love and appreciation to each other.

Heart Connection Matters

With a multitude of global stressors going on – war, extreme weather, famine, political and social divisiveness, and much more – we can at times feel like it’s hard enough to handle our own stressful challenges, let alone help humanity. One of the most effective ways to help both ourselves and humanity is to deepen our heart connections with each other.

So often we have only surface-level connections along with some care but miss a deeper understanding of another person. When we connect from a warm heart with intentional care, we listen and hear more deeply. This increases our intuitive sensitivity to their feelings and essence, which helps with deeper understanding.

For humanity to dissipate the walls of separation between people with different backgrounds, beliefs, or values, we need to connect from the heart to establish rapport and truly understand each other. This requires humility and a heart’s desire to understand. We don’t have to agree with another’s views. From our heart we can caringly share our truth about what we feel, but taking a mind stance results in feelings of separation and disconnection. Connecting from our heart supports the dignity, respect, and deep listening needed for effective communication among people with diverse beliefs.

Scientific research is showing that, whether we like it or not, we are all energetically interconnected. Acknowledging this interconnectivity is essential for healing separation and finding solutions to personal and societal problems. Each person’s thoughts, attitudes, and emotions emit energies through their heart’s electromagnetic field. As we communicate with compassionate care and kindness, this energetically warms the heart connection in our interactions, which results in better outcomes. Having more care and compassion for each other increases the heart energy or love flowing through our system. Practicing this reduces many predictable stress reactions and restores our own mental and emotional balance.

GCI is collaborating with scientists and institutions to research the interconnected nature of people as key to healing the separation which is at the heart of most of humanity’s problems. The potential of this interconnectivity research is to motivate millions of people to take more responsibility for their energies and understand the importance of heart-connected communication. In the future, getting along with each other won’t be just an altruistic notion. It will be an intelligent, practical commonsense way of life.

Here are a few heart connection tips that can help us release some of the stress we energetically accumulate from our own and the world’s challenges.

Heart Connection Tips

• A fast-acting practice for deeper heart connection is to create an attitude of care, kindness, and respect for another person before and during conversations. The practice of intentionally connecting with these heart qualities first sets an energetic tone that makes it easier for heart energy to flow in our interactions. When genuine care precedes communication, then it’s easier for our heart feelings to inform us of the most effective way to communicate that’s best for all concerned.
• It’s especially smart to "prep" before conversations that could be sensitive. You can "prep" by radiating heart feelings to the person for a few minutes before a phone call, Zoom meeting, in-person meeting, etc. See yourself staying calm while speaking or listening, without forming opinions, judgments, or conclusions. (This part takes a little more practice, but it’s well worth it. Don’t get caught up in getting it right or wrong. Your effectiveness will increase with heartfelt intention. Even if prep doesn’t work every time, when it does work, it can prevent a week’s worth of stress from picking up the pieces after relationship spats or misunderstandings.)
• Another heart connection tip is to hold a genuine attitude of appreciation for the person as you communicate. Holding others in appreciation radiates an energy field that increases respect for each other and creates a safe zone for warm-hearted communication.

People have a deep desire to be heard and accepted for who they are. Heart-connected communication is a most effective way to achieve this.

Care Focus: Heart Connection Matters

1. Let’s start by breathing in feelings of love and appreciation, as this activates our heart coherence.
2. Let’s envision our communications and interactions to be warmer, more compassionate, and kinder. This encourages compassionate latitude for others, which can powerfully reduce much of the stress people are experiencing in these times. It’s important as we are all affected by today’s increasing challenges, such as extreme weather events, society’s polarizing values, people’s chaotic behaviors, or global unease from uncertainty.
3. Now, let’s envision ourselves deepening our heart connections, healing our relationships and releasing separation for the good of the whole. Realize that as more of us increase our intentional care and compassion in interactions, it raises the vibration of the energetic environment, making it easier for people to open their hearts to each other. This will facilitate the global heart awakening.
4. Let’s close by sending our deepest care and compassion to all who are suffering hardships from wars, famine, natural disasters, and other global stressors.

Thank you for your participation in this Care Focus.

Tree Research Project: Phase 2

Something about trees. … a walk in the forest, the spiritual experience of planting a tree, settling down against just about any kind of tree with book in hand. Can these "other beings" sense how humans feel about them? Do trees feel and are they affected by our emotions?

When the HeartMath Research Center launched its tree research project last year, we asked the question, "Why are we so in awe of the old oak and the ancient redwood?" In 2017, we will further explore the mysteries of trees in Phase II of what is now called the Global Tree Monitoring Network. We will expand the number and types of trees and varieties we monitor.

In Phase II, scientists will increase the current half-dozen redwood and oak trees being monitored by an additional 20 trees in the forest around the HeartMath Institute Research Center in the Boulder Creek area of Central California. Among these will be weeping willows, Douglas fir, yucca, madrone, and fruit trees such as apple, orange, pear and persimmon.

In Phase I of this project, which is part of HeartMath Institute’s (HMI) overall interconnectivity research, scientists monitored a half-dozen redwood trees in a grove. To do this, they had to create and test new equipment and software for efficiently and simultaneously measuring tree potentials from multiple trees and develop a way of sending the data to a lab. This preparation work for Phase II included developing low-power-use tree-potential amplifiers, tree electrodes, a data-acquisition system and a communication system.

What We Know Now

Based on observations of oak and redwood trees in different locations of HMI’s California research center, researchers have learned the following:

• Trees, like humans, have a circadian or day-night rhythm.
• Trees can elicit positive feeling states in humans.
• Tree have complex and different overall electrical voltage patterns, almost as if each has its own personality.

Read more about Phase 1: Interconnectivity Tree Research Project.

What We Will Explore

• Do the electrical responses in multiple trees correlate to events that trigger an emotional outpouring in large numbers of people?
• Do trees communicate energetically with each other over large distances?
• Are trees affected by human emotions?
• Does being in the biofields of trees have an uplifting effect on people?
• Can trees help inform us about approaching earthquakes?

Benefits of HMI Tree Research

• Provides a deeper understanding of how people and trees are connected.
• Collects information about how trees respond generally to human emotions and specifically to positive human emotions.
• Gathers important data that may aid in prediction of earthquakes – and saving lives.
• Eventually will establish a global network of tree-monitoring sites and a website^† with live data from a redwood grove.

† When all equipment and systems are in place, our website will display data from all monitored trees, marking the launch of what will be the Citizen Scientist-Based Tree Project in which anyone can participate.

Global Tree Monitoring Network: What’s next?

In the months ahead, researchers will expand and test the network, including monitoring an additional 20 trees at strategic locations in the redwood forest around the HeartMath Institute campus. They will collect data on multiple types of trees, such as key tree stressors: For example, how does location affect the same or different varieties of trees?

Two important next steps are developing communications protocol software and hardware to enable monitoring of many trees worldwide and creating a public website where anyone can see the data from all monitored trees.

This broader scope in Phase II promises an array of interesting new data, which we will be able to collect by further developing communications protocol software and additional hardware.

Scientists will continue observing how temperature, light, gravitational pull on the earth and changes in its magnetic fields and other factors affect tree electrical potentials. We will keep you informed as we continue this fascinating journey.

Did you know, when you participate in HeartMath’s Monthly and Quarterly Giving program, you will receive a one-year membership.

We welcome your comments about the Global Tree Monitoring Network. Care to share a personal uplifting experience you or someone you know has had with trees.

Why are we so in awe of the old oak and the ancient redwood tree? Why does sitting beneath a spreading sycamore feel like a spiritual experience?

HeartMath’s scientists have focused especially on oak and redwood trees as they seek answers to a number of questions. For instance, given our close relationship to trees through the millennia, can electrical responses in multiple trees correlate to events that trigger huge emotional outpouring in large numbers of people?

What We Know

Scientists Will Explore

Next Steps

1. Acquire and install additional sensors, communication equipment and software.

2. Create a network system that allows researchers to record many trees simultaneously in different forest locations.

3. Add to the network an additional 20 trees at strategic locations in the redwood forest surrounding the HMI campus.

4. Collect data on different types of trees and tree stressors such as location.

From HMI Director of Research Rollin McCraty Ph.D. …

“We will be looking at how a tree’s electrical potentials are affected by a number of obvious environmental factors such as temperature, light and water, but also the gravitational pull on the earth by the sun and moon (Earth tides) and changes in the earth’s magnetic fields.”

If the institute’s initial studies determine trees are energetically interconnected with and/or can help in earthquake prediction, “We envision expanding the tree-monitoring system to include forests in other geographical locations.”

For a number of years, HeartMath Institute (HMI) studied the electrical activity of trees in relation to our interconnectivity research. With your support, we hope to expand efforts in this area.

For instance, trees have a surprisingly complex range of electrical activity and rhythms. Now we want to measure this activity from groups of trees. By looking at the activity of trees in groves and at different locations in a forest, we hope to see how trees not only may be communicating with each other, but also how they may respond as a group to human emotions.

Scientists know trees, like humans and other living things, have a circadian or day-night rhythm and other rhythms and activity. For example, these electrical rhythms are coupled partly to the sun and moon’s gravitational pull on the earth.

There’s a lot more to learn about trees, especially how they may respond to human emotions, and how being in the presence of their biofields can have an uplifting effect on people. Our scientists have been preparing in recent years to expand our tree research, and HMI/GCI is making this appeal now so they can begin.

Donate to the Tree Research Project

HMI’s tree research benefits people by:

• Providing a deeper understanding of how people and trees are energetically connected.
• Gathering information about how trees respond to human emotions generally and how they respond to positive human emotions in particular.
• Collecting data before earthquakes to aid in prediction – and saving lives.
• Establishing a network of tree-monitoring sites and a website with live data from a redwood grove that allows public interaction with the trees at any time.

Another rather amazing observation has been that some of the longer-term trends in trees recordings seem to respond to the approach of earthquakes. An exciting theory NASA Ames scientist Friedemann Freund with whom we are collaborating, has developed a theory that explains how rocks deep in has proposed in the earth act as batteries when they are stressed by tectonic forces preceding earthquakes. The electrical charge carriers flowing through these rocks appear to cause a response in the electrical activity of trees. This theory also explains how the electrical change carriers that flow through the rocks appear to cause a response in the electrical activity of trees. The changes in trees’ electrical activity could be a way to better predict earthquakes.
