Stress is the body and mind's response to any stressful pressure that disrupts the balance in the mind or body. It occurs when our perceptions of events don't meet our expectations and we don't manage our reaction to the disappointment. As a response, stress expresses itself as resistance, tension, strain or frustration, that throws off our physiological and psychological equilibrium, keeping us out-of-sync and stressed-out.

The irony is this: Our bodies react to stress in exactly the same way whether or not we have a good reason for being stressed. The body doesn't care if we're right or wrong. Even in those times when we feel perfectly justified in getting angry—when we tell ourselves it's the healthy response—we pay for it just the same.

Ongoing stress creates an energetic environment, affecting town and country, spreading from nation to nation, causing disharmony, disease, storms and wars. The heart's intelligence can help to dissipate these negative stressful energies, giving people a fresh start in learning how to get along and live stress free. As enough people learn about emotional fitness, it will cause a global shift into new consciousness that many are talking about, and then quality of life has a chance of becoming better for the whole.

The global stress momentum is obvious, but there's an equally potent force opposing it. Even as the waves of stress and incoherence increase, the energetics of coherence-the other side of living in this era of change-is working in our favor.

Amidst the burgeoning stress, a new momentum toward coherence is building. But we can attune to it and actualize it only through emotional management and balance-skills that much of society lacks. If we stay locked in anxiety, fear, resignation, or an unwillingness to change, the ever-accelerating pace of these times will continue to provide one challenge after another. Finding the heart momentum within is the best way to help ourselves and others navigate through this transitional era.

Doc Childre and Howard Martin, The HeartMath Solution
Any time one person makes an effort to contact a deeper part of him or herself, balance his or her emotions, and deflect the stress momentum, others benefit. As more individuals learn to maintain their poise and balance and refrain from adding to the incoherence around them, they help to counterbalance the frequency of stress.
