Dear Robert,

Did you know that information can be communicated between biological
systems and cause an effect in another living system?

The Institute of HeartMath has research showing heart-brain
interactions between persons in close proximity: couples sleeping; a
mother and her infant; individuals in coherent states.

The institute also has found that a type of heart-rhythm
synchronization can occur in interactions between people and their
pets. A lot of pet lovers can appreciate the results of an experiment
IHM Director of Research Dr. Rollin McCraty conducted with his
15-year-old son, Josh and the boy's dog, Mabel. He used
electrocardiogram monitors to record heart-rhythm data when the pair
were together and apart.

The top of the graph shows the dog's (Mabel) heart rhythm shift when
the boy (Josh, shown in the lower part of the graph) entered the
room, sat down and proceeded to consciously experience feelings of love
towards Mabel. When Josh consciously felt feelings of love and care
towards his pet, his heart rhythms became more coherent, and this
change appears to have influenced Mabel's heart rhythms, which then
also became more coherent. There was no physical contact between the
dog and boy.

Regarding these connections that can occur from person to person and
between people and pets, McCraty later wrote:

  "Although more research in this area is still to be done, I do feel 
  that we can affect our immediate environment. It appears that there 
  is a type of communication occurring between people above and beyond 
  body language or verbal communication. I believe we'll see in future
  research studies that we are affecting each other's moods and
  attitudes, both positively and negatively by the electromagnetic 
  fields we radiate.

  "In our work with pets and their owners, we're seeing that a pet 
  owner can create what we call a heart-filled environment when 
  practicing heart-focused techniques (a cornerstone of HeartMath tools 
  and technology). The pets respond by becoming more affectionate, more
  animated and more connected with the pet owner."

If you would like to further your understanding of this subject, you can
read a summary of Dr. McCraty's [1]Energetic Heart or obtain the
complete [2]Scientific Monograph in an e-booklet.

With care,
