Organizations Filed Purposes: THE INSTITUTE OF HEARTMATH'S MISSION IS TO HELP PEOPLE CONNECT WITH THE INTELLIGENCE AND GUIDANCE OF THEIR OWN HEARTS TO HELP ESTABLISH PERSONAL AND GLOBAL COHERENCE. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED BY RESEARCHING HEART INTELLIGENCE, STRESS REDUCTION, RESILIENCE [SEE SCH O]AND EMOTIONAL MANAGEMENT AS WELL AS EXPLORING HOW WE ARE ALL GLOBALLY INTERCONNECTED AT A DEEP, FUNDAMENTAL LEVEL VIA ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS AND BIOFIELDS. THE RESEARCH FINDINGS ARE APPLIED TO DEVELOPING SCIENTIFICALLY TESTED, PRACTICAL AND EASY TO USE TOOLS, TECHNIQUES AND TECHNOLOGIES TO REDUCE STRESS, REBALANCE AND REJUVENATE AND LEARN HOW TO SELF REGULATE EMOTIONS FOR OPTIMAL CLARITY, LEARNING, PERFORMANCE, INTUITION, COMMUNICATION, SOCIAL INTERACTION AND TEAMWORK.

TO HELP PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD ESTABLISH HEART-BASED LIVING AND GLOBAL COHERENCE.

EDUCATION DIVISIONDEVELOPS AND DISSEMINATES PROGRAMS, TOOLS, AND TECHNOLOGIES TO HELP CHILDREN, PARENTS, NON-PROFIT CONSTITUENTS, INDIVIDUALS, TEENS, FIRST RESPONDERS, VETERANS, MILITARY PERSONAL AND FAMILIES LEARN HOW TO SELF-REGULATE EMOTIONS, INCREASE RESILIENCE, EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND REDUCE STRESS. ACTIVITIES OF THIS DIVISION INCLUDE: DISSEMINATING EDUCATIONAL AND RESEARCH INFORMATION VIA E-TECHNOLOGY, SOCIAL MEDIA, PRODUCTS, LECTURES AND CONFERENCES, MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM, COLLABORATION, PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT, PROGRAM MATERIALS AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, TRAINING AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS; [SEE SCH O]SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF 2019 ARE:1. THE U.S. CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL AWARDED A 3-YEAR GRANT TO NORC AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS GALVESTON MEDICAL BRANCH AND HEARTMATH INSTITUTE TO CONDUCT A 30-SCHOOL INTERVENTION OF APPROXIMATELY 2,000 SEVENTH-GRADE STUDENTS. HMI WILL DESIGN A FIVE-PART VIDEO SERIES TO INSTRUCT PARENTS PARALLELING THE STUDENT INTERVENTION; DESIGN A 20-CLASS SESSION IMPLEMENTATION PLAN UTILIZING ITS SMART BRAIN WISE HEART LEARNING PROGRAM AND THE EMWAVE2 TRAINING SYSTEM. HMI WILL ALSO SUPPORT AND COLLABORATE ON A RESEARCH DESIGN THAT WILL MESURE THE MENTAL HEALTH OF THE STUDENTS.2. HEARTMATH INSTITUE CERTIFIED 251 TRAINERS, COACH-MENTORS, AND CLINICIANS IN 2019. THESE TRAININGS ARE DELIVERED TO NONPROFITS, GOVERNMENT SERVICE AGENCIES, EDUCATORS, COUNSELORS, TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS, SCHOOL STAFF, HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, VETERANS, FIRST RESPONDERS, AND OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS TO TEACH OR INCORPORATE HEARTMATH TECHNIQUES INTO THEIR EXISTING TRAINING PROGRAMS.

RESEARCH DIVISIONTHE RESEARCH CENTER CONDUCTS BASIC RESEARCH INTO PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGY, NEUROCARDIOLOGY AND BIOPHYSICS, AND OUTCOME STUDIES IN CLINICAL, WORKPLACE, EDUCATIONAL AND FIRST RESPONDER SETTINGS, FREQUENTLY IN COLLABORATION WITH UNIVERSITIES, RESEARCH CENTERS AND HEALTH-CARE-SYSTEM PARTNERS. RESEARCH INTERESTS ALSO INCLUDE THE ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY OF INTUITION AND EXPLORING HOW WE ARE ALL GLOBALLY INTERCONNECTED AT A DEEP, FUNDAMENTAL LEVEL VIA ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS AND BIO-FIELDS. [SEE SCH O]FOLLOWING ARE SOME OF THE ENDEAVORS AND SUCCESSES OF THE HEARTMATH INSTITUTE RESEARCH CENTER AND TEAM IN 2019: 1. MADE SIGNIFIFICANT PROCESS ON PHASE 2 OF THE GLOBAL TREE MONITORING NETWORK, CREATED TO COLLECT ELECTRICAL POTENTIAL DATA FROM MULTIPLE TYPES OF TREES IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AROUND THE WORLD. THIS PHASE OF THE PROJECT IS REFINING THE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE FOR TRANSMITTING THE DATA TO A PUBLIC WEBSITE. PROTOTYPES HAVE MOVED INTO PRODUCTION OF THE FIRST DEVICES WHICH WILL UNDERGO EXTENSIVE TESTING.2. THE RESEARCH TEAM COLLABORATED ON THE GLOBAL COHERENCE PULSE WITH THE INSTITUTE OF NOETIC SCIENCES, UNIFY, AWAKE TV NETWORK, RESONANCE SCIENCE FOUNDATION EARTH DANCE, COHERENCE HOT SPOTS AND MANY OTHERS, TO COLLECTIVELY ORGANIZE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD TO PULSE COHERENT HEART ENERGY INTO THE GLOBAL FIELD ENVIRONMENT ON A REGULAR RHYTHM. CITIZEN SCIENTISTS AMOUNG THE PARTICIPENTS CAN CHOOSE TO ACTIVELY TAKE PART IN COORDINATED, RESULTS-ORIENTED SCIENTIFIC EXPERIEMENTS THAT CAN HELP ILLUMINATE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN PERSONAL AND THE PLANETARY ENVIRONMENT.3. RESEACH PAPERS PUBLISHED BY THE RESEARCH TEAM AND COLLABORATORS IN 2019 WERE:- "ENHANCING DESCISION-MAKING UNDER STRESS AMONG SAILORS"- "THE IMPACT OF HEARTMATH RESILIENCY TRAINING ON HEALTH CAIR PROVIDERS"- "ONE-MINUTE DEEP BREATHING ASSESSMENT AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO 24-HOUR HEART RATE VARIABILITY MEASUREMENTS"4. ALL THE INDEPENDENT RESEARCH STUDIES AND PH.D. DISSERTATIONS WERE UTILIZED HEARTMATH CONTENT IN A WIDE VARIETY OF APPLICATIONS THAT WERE PUBLISHED BY OTHERS AROUND THE WORLD IN 2019 AND TOO NUMEROUS TO LIST HERE. HERE ARE A COUPLE OF THEM:- "A 6-WEEK WORKSITE POSITIVITY PROGRAM LEADS TO GREATER LIFE SATISFACTION, DECREASED INFLAMMATION, AND A GREATER NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES WITH A1C LEVELS IN RANGE"- "EMOTION REGULATION AFTER ACQUIRED BRAIN INJURY: A STUDY OF HEART RATE VARIABILITY, ATTENTION CONTROL AND PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGY"- "COGNITIVE REHEARSAL, HEARTMATH AND SIMULATION: A INTERVENTION TO BUILD RESILIENCE AND ADDRESS INCIVILITY"5. THE HMI RESEARCH TEAM PROVIDED 24 HOUR HRV AUTOMATIC ASSESSMENT REPORT AND 'PERSONAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL QUALITY ASSESSMENT' SURVEY FORMS FOR ORGANIZATION AND INDEPENDENT RESEARCHERS. IN ADDITION, THE TEAM PROVIDED STATISTICAL ANALYSIS AND PROJECT WORK FOR INDEPENDENT RESEARCHERS AND ORGANIZATIONS.6. PRESENT AT 8 NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES AND EVENTS IN 2019.7. THE RESEARCH FUND, ESTABLISHED IN 2012 TO EXPAND, DISSEMINATE AND CARRY OUT HEARTMATH RESEARCH, SUPPORT ONGOING RESEARCH, COLLABORATIONS WITH UNIVERSITIES AND OTHER RESEARCHERS AROUND THE WORLD, SCIENTIFIC STUDIES AND RESULTING PUBLICATIONS. IN ADDITION TO ONGOING STUDIES, THE RESEARCH TEAM PRODUCED SEVERAL NEW VIDEOS, WEBINARS, ARTICLES AND PAPERS, AS WELL AS APPEARING IN MEDIA, LIVE INTERVIEWS, AND DOCUMENTARIES IN 2019.8. THE SOCIAL COHERENCE INITIATIVE TO DEVELOP AND SCIENTIFICALLY VALIDATE PROGRAMS AND NEW TECHNOLOGY THAT HELPED TO INCREASE SOCIAL COHERENCE. THE RESEARCH TEAM HAS COMPLETED THE GROUP COHERENCE PLATFORM THAT PROVIDES REAL-TIME FEEDBACK FOR A GROUP'S COLLECTIVE COHERENCE LEVEL. THIS ALLOWS RESEARCHERS TO EVALUATE ANY ORGANIZATION'S TEAM AND GROUP SOCIAL COHERENCE LEVELS AND MEASURE ITS PROGRSS TOWARDS IMPROVING TEAMWORK AND, ULTIMATELY, RESILIENCE, HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. A BETA VERSION OF THE NEW PSYCHOMETRIC ASSESSMENT SURVEY TOOL FOR MEASURING CHANGES IN SOCIAL-COHERENCE METRICS IN GROUPS AND TEAMS HAS BEEN CREATED AND NOW A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF DATA MUST BE COLLECTED FROM SURVEY RESULTS FROM NORMS CAN BE ESTABLISHED AND THE SURVEY IS FINALIZED. THE 'ACTIVATING THE HEART OF TEAMS' CERFICICATION TRAINING HAD BEEN COMPLETED, PILOTED AND SEVERAL GROUPS OF TRAINORS ARE CERTIFED IN THE NEW PROGRAM.9.

TO DATE, SIX GLOBAL COHERENCE MONITORING SYSTEM SENSOR SITES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED AROUND THE WORLD TO GATHER GEO-MAGNETIC DATA FOR ONGOING STUDY OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HUMANITY AND THE PLANETARY MAGNETIC FIELDS AND THE EFFECTS AND POTENTIAL INTERACTIVITY OF THAT RELATIONSHIP. [SEE SCH O]ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN 2019 WERE:1. CONTINUED TESTING POTENTIAL NEW SENSOR SITES IN SOUTH AMERICA. GCMS STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS ALSO MAINTAINED, REPAIRED AND COLLECTED CONTINUOUS DATA FROM GLOBAL COHERENCE MONITORING SYSTEM SENSOR SITES IN THE UNITED STATES, SAUDI ARABIA, CANADA, NEW ZEALAND, LITHUANIA AND SOUTH AFRICA.
