If you are physically, emotionally and spiritually
grounded, but the electrical crackling in the airwaves is
fraying your nerves, your ticket to inner peace may be a
personal stress reduction tool called the emWave.
Invented by The HeartMath Institute, the emWave is a small,
handheld biofeedback device. When you place your thumb on
a sensor, the emWave calibrates your heart-rate variability
(HRV)—that is, the degree to which your heart and respiration
rates are in sync. Streaming blue lights cue you to breathe
slowly and evenly as you experience positive emotions and
in a few moments or minutes shift your entire being into
harmony.
Like all biofeedback devices, the emWave suggests techniques
for attaining your optimal heart-rate variability, but invites
you to discover what calms you quickest and best. Watching
to see what shifts your HRV from a pulsing out-of-sync red
light to a medium blue and then a harmonious green is a
real-time adventure. Familiarizing yourself with the feeling
of drifting into a healthier state of awareness teaches
you to downshift without the emWave. You will more easily
open to heart inspiration anytime and anywhere.
If you like to experiment, you will love the emWave and
its palpable expansion of consciousness. People able to
maintain meditative states in the outer world steadily awaken
their minds to the heightened clarity, creativity, insight,
intuition and spiritual connection of the spiritual master.
The emWave’s four challenge levels facilitate this journey of mastery. The first level brings you to a calm, peaceful state of awareness. Successive levels require you to attain finer degrees of inner harmony.
I use the emWave sometimes to prepare for meditation; it takes me to profundity quicker than rituals and mind-calming techniques. I have also used this handy device to transmute my state of consciousness. During a lengthy cross-country plane flight, I grew impatient and pulled out my emWave to calm down. In just a few minutes I attained HRV in the first three challenge levels and delightedly observed a shift from testy fatigue to an energized state of mental clarity, oneness and outflowing joy. It’s more fun to master emotions with the emWave.
While serving as a personal stress reducer, the emWave performs a service to the world as happy, relaxed users project coherent vibrations into the field. HeartMath globalizes this idea by inviting emWave owners to co-create a planetary peace wave. See the article below to learn how to participate with an emWave in the Global Coherence Initiative’s promising and unprecedented effort to transform global consciousness.
If you decide to purchase an emWave, buying it through www.EagleLife.com would help support this newsletter. You will find on the new Marketplace page of EagleLife.com more information about the emWave and the research behind it. You may also want to explore Journey to Wild Divine, a wise, beautiful meditation adventure game that also trains users to master heart-rate variability.
No matter how we achieve harmonic coherence, sending out positive thoughts and emotions immerses us in the light-filled sea of spirit. Happy surfing!
Back in the 1930s, the late great psychic diagnostician
Edgar Cayce said, “Thoughts are things, crimes or miracles
in their own right.” The eyes of Cayce’s psychic
soul, seeing everything as energy, readily perceived that
our thoughts, emotions, attitudes and beliefs determine
from life to life who we are, how we interpret events, and
the reality in which we find ourselves.
Cayce fully understood that it is useless to judge or fear
anything. What looks like a meltdown of the U.S. economy,
weather and politics could be (and is) progressive change.
Every event brings evolutionary change, both in our personal
lives and in the course of human history. Sometimes events
look dark, as with China’s conquest of Tibet and Al
Gore’s loss of the presidency in year 2000. Yet these
events brought to the world the Dalai Lama’s brilliant
teachings on the use of meditation to manage destructive
emotions and Al Gore’s timely warnings about global
warming.
What transforms consciousness is destiny, spun out from
the personal and collective into the light-filled ocean
of spirit, which clothes ideas with atomic particles and
waves of matter and form. This exchange between the spirit
and materiality is always taking place, but some points
in time are more auspicious than others.
Today we find ourselves at just such a pivotal moment—a
paradigm shift—in the history of humankind
The Quantum Sea
Cayce was ahead of the quantum wave, whose pioneering physicists
now support his contention that our thoughts and feelings
configure subatomic packets of light (quanta) into personal
and collective realities. I perceive three resonant levels
of quantum reality:
1) While each person’s beliefs and expectations create his/her own spheres of existence, 2) the beliefs and expectations in humanity’s collective unconscious are magnetically encoded in a high-speed web of light strung in multiple dimensions inside and above people and the earth.
3) The third dimension is the pulsating, quantum sea of spirit called “life force” or God. This spiritual reality composes the rhythmic music of the universe played by nature and the astrological patterns wheeling through the sky. Both emit a rich, complex set of frequencies, or pitches, reverberating with new, creative possibilities for healing, change and transformation.
These astrological influences emanate their psychospiritual energies into the earth’s magnetic field to present choices and opportunities that evolve us toward the higher good. But sometimes these powerful cosmic forces meet resistance that causes turbulence. This is exactly what we are experiencing now.
Zeitgeist: The Saturn-Uranus Opposition
Virginia Beach astrologer Raye Mathis describes these astrological influences in the September-October 2008 issue of “Venture Inward,” the international magazine published by Edgar Cayce’s Association for Research and Enlightenment (www.edgarcayce.org).
Between November 4, 2008 (by no accident, voting day in the U.S. presidential election) and July 26, 2010, several oppositions of Saturn and Uranus will arouse powerful polarized energies. Saturn, the planet of change, represents the status quo’s conservative forces of safety and security, while Uranus brings in the energies of bold, dynamic and youthful leadership, as in the socio-political upheaval of the 1960s.
According to Cayce, when these two extremely different energies oppose each other, everything from business relations and personal relationships to financial conditions goes awry.
Sound familiar?
Here is the zeitgeist, or spirit, of these times. Conservative security versus bold, youthful and dynamic change are personified in America’s presidential candidates, their vice-presidential nominees, and the two major political parties. These oppositional energies are global, but they are especially strong in the United States because of the energetic “charge” generated by the nation’s high-powered military and economic forces.
Personally I am voting for Barack Obama, a clear, lucid thinker with a compassionate heart and inspired plans for world peace, green ecology, and shared economic resources. This eloquent, charismatic leader stepped onto the national stage and won the immediate support of artists, educators and progressive thinkers in every field. If you are not already voting for him, I hope you will consider doing so. To me, he is destined to shift the U.S. out of the fear-based politics of the past and back into its greatness.
Choices and Challenges for Evolutionaries
At this moment in time, people across the planet face a stark choice. We must decide whether to boldly walk into a new future led by bright, young creative minds or whether to stick with the status quo. Change is never easy, and most people avoid it. Yet here it is and only one question matters: Is the status quo in line with your deepest-held values?
Rejecting the status quo always creates turmoil. The old guard, entrenched in outworn patterns, attempts to win by sowing fear in people’s hearts. Many people close up and rely on others to make their choices. But eventually, the mirror of life reveals the most illumined paths into the future and people walk down them.
Every heart, mind and soul must stay calm enough to make wise, inspired choices. Changing conditions may surge like tidal waves, but the peaceful heart and soul will stay afloat on this heaving sea of energy, which beckons us into a brave new age.
The energies flowing in from the Saturn-Uranus opposition and the Age of Aquarius present us with unprecedented opportunities for self-growth, spiritual illumination and planetary transformation. We meet these extraordinary times with everything in place to effect positive change. Science and spirituality have merged in the new physics to show us the way.
The Global Coherence Initiative
The HeartMath Institute, drawing on 15 years of scientific research, is now moving to effect a global shift in planetary awareness. Everyone is invited to participate in this exciting effort.
The goal of the Global Coherence Initiative is to teach people to evoke heart-based harmony via the emWave (see article above) and transmit coherence into the field to transform consciousness.
HeartMath’s research initially focused on how stress affects the heart, brain and body and how, in turn, human consciousness influences the earth’s magnetic field. Changes in the earth’s magnetic field are now scientifically linked to brain and nervous system changes, human performance, ESP, nutrient synthesis in plants and algae, traffic violations and accidents, human mortality from heart attacks and strokes, and the incidence of depression and suicide.
In other words, human beings are intimately connected with the earth’s electromagnetic field. Geomagnetic changes influence everything on earth and especially the human heart; conversely, the human heart powerfully influences the field.

A Global Wave
Given this interconnectivity, the Global Coherence Initiative seeks people willing to help create a positive emotional wave that will create a global coherence wave.
On the drawing board is a Global Coherence Monitoring System (GCMS) consisting of more than 100 monitors strung out across the planet to measure the effect of the earth’s magnetic field on people. The monitors will also measure changes in the electromagnetic field to predict earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other planetary events. The two chief researchers predicted weeks in advance the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens and other seismic activity.
Most importantly, the monitors will measure in real-time the impact of the Global Coherence Initiative. While the GCMS raises $5 million to fund the remote monitoring sites and supply emWaves to poorer populations, emWave users are already participating in synchronized coherence events.
This plan to pour coherent light into the field to restore harmony to people and the earth is happening just when we need it most. By no accident, it comes just as we awaken to our enormous inner resources and co-creative potentiality—with a lot of help from our friends.
Light Up the Planet
Sign up at www.glcoherence.org to join this effort to transform consciousness. Once you have purchased your emWave, enter your location on the Community Map. Members in 46 countries are represented on this map, which shows them as owners of emWaves and reflects in color their self-described state of emotional well-being.
According to HeartMath, when you use a Tracker during synchronized events, this information is uplinked to satellite so that everyone can see everyone else and how they are feeling. The Trackers will be used in experiments once the GCMS is up and running.
It’s hard to imagine a better way than this to serve self and the world. Plugging into the field in this positive, constructive way will prove once and for all, to each and every one of us, that nothing is more powerful than the Light of love.
This time of transition gives a magnificent gift. We are learning about our oneness with each other and with all things. Understanding this connects us with a world of people who want to surf the waves of peace and harmony together.
