Feelings are quite literally energy in motion [e-motion]. Positive feelings create coherent heart rhythms; negative feelings produce incoherence in the heart's electromagnetic waves, thus depleting energy. Therefore, we energize or deplete our mind-body systems with each perceptual choice we make. As Goswami [1993] suggests, Descartes' famous words, 'cogito,ergo sum,' [I think, therefore I am] could, perhaps, more accurately be stated as 'opto, ergo sum,' [I choose, therefore I am]. Choosing to see the positive aspects of all events in our lives changes our minds as well as our hearts. As the heart's rhythmic beating patterns become coherent, the brain's electromagnetic waves [EEG] entrain accordingly. In this state of heart-brain synchronicity, we not only feel more vital and alive, we experience greater clarity of thinking and we generate more creative ideas.
