Howard Well it's not just the US situation, we know it's global. There is polarization happening
everywhere.
In Europe, for example, there are major issues around Brexit and immigration. That's the biggest
political hot button in all of Europe because the immigrants are coming there a lot of times long before
they get here. This is a huge political issue and is creating a lot of tension in Europe. What's happening
Jewels, is that a new world is emerging and the old one is hanging on. This can create polarization.
People are making choices of which side of this equation they're on so to speak. The former views are
getting stirred up. We're seeing it more now. In addition to that, through the technology we have today,
like social media and the media in general, we are more aware of what's happening. It can look dark at
times but I think that will eventually smooth out and believe it or not, we are headed in the right
direction.
The larger energetic momentums are moving society towards cooperation. Coming together rather than
separating. It doesn't appear that way, and it sounds counterintuitive when you look at a news site for
example. But I think it's in people's hearts and in the hearts of society as a whole. People want to try to
get along. They want to try to work out their differences. They want to cooperate rather than compete.
Jewel s: Well, I'm not seeing that at all. I mean you
go on Facebook and everybody thinks that they're
right. There's nobody who thinks that they're
wrong... including me. And I am seeing that
polarization. I have never seen it to this extreme
before.
Howard You're going see a lot of that. Facebook is a
great example of a vehicle that allows people to
express themselves. A lot of people are expressing
things that they would never say in public. Some
people are using it as a bully pulpit. You'll see a lot
of things that happen when you have a vehicle, like
a Facebook .
However, It is not all that way., I step back and try to see it from another angle. What I also see
happening is a bigger momentum that is making it clear that we are moving towards being one family.
Life itself will force us to learn how to work together. We're all playing in one yard and eventually we're
going to have to learn to get along. Planetary changes will push us to a place where we have to begin to
acknowledge and accept differences in people. We can celebrate and respect different cultures and
views without losing our own identity and beliefs. This will happen more as consciousness changes. It's
a growing heart-based consciousness. That is at the root of making this kind of change, one that
incorporates the values long associated with the qualities associated with heart. When we activate the
heart, more intuitive intelligence comes in and gives us a different type of guidance system, a different
type of internal G.P.S. about our thoughts and feelings and choices. Therein lies a key in how we can
create more harmony and less discord.
Jewel s: So HeartMath still does global meditations?
Howard: Yes, many of us here do regular mediations to help serve and support positive changes in the
world. We also have a new app people around the world are using for this type of work. It's called the
Global Coherence app. And it is a great tool to bring people together in groups large or small to do
meditative practices and see a connection between each other and to see many coherence points that
group or groups are contributing to the world. You get it from your favorite app store.
Jewel s: Absolutely! And now is the time to do that. Your presentations are so impressive! You really are
a phenomenal speaker. You got everybody just glued in watching your demonstrations.
Howard: Thanks for the compliment and yes I often do a demonstrate using technology which measures
changes in our heart rhythms. The technology determines how coherent they are. The audience can see
changes happening in people in real-time right on the stage as they practice a simple heart-focused
technique and move into a higher state of coherence. Coherence represents internal synchronization
physical and emotionally. It's an active state. It allows us to differentiate our thoughts and our feelings
to be more sensitive to the environments we are in. It's also a very healthy state. So, yes, during a
