The Institue of HeartMath reports that negative emotions like anger may suppress the immune system for up to six hours.
On the other side of the coin-positive, heart-focused emotions may strengthen your immune system for up to six hours.
It truly matters how we react and how developed our emotional intelligence is.
Here is an exercise they recommend for emotional coherence:
- Be aware of how you feel about an issue at hand.
- Breathe a positive feeling or attitude.
- Be objective, as if the issue or problem is someone else’s.
- Rest peacefully in this neutral state, allowing your heart intelligence to offer new perspectives and possibilities.
- Soak and relax all resistances and disturbing or perplexing feelings in your heart’s compassion.
- Ask for guidance, then be patient and receptive. While awaiting an answer from the heart find something or someone to genuinely appreciate.
