Have you ever felt miserable, then entered a room full of joyous vibrant people and found your
energy and spirits uplifted by the atmosphere? Up to 60% of the human adult body is water.
According to H.H. Mitchell, Journal of Biological Chemistry, the brain and heart are composed
of 73% water, and the lungs are about 83% water. Little wonder then how our energy is
influenced by the positive (and negative) energy of others.

Head – Heart Entrainment
Nowhere is the incredible energy power of appreciation more noticeable than through our most
basic of functions, the beating of our hearts and the workings of our brains. In the research

experiments that follow, the impact of the energy of appreciation is unmistakable.
Entrainment is the process whereby one frequency of vibration aligns with or matches another.

A chaotic, disordered heart rhythm can result from feeling negative energy emotions such as
anger, fear and jealousy. This can cause a physical chain reaction, with blood vessels

contracting, blood pressure rising and increasing the possibility of heart disease and stroke.
Harmonious heart rhythms support good cardiovascular health, enhancing the immune system
and improving hormonal balance. Harmonious rhythms of energy have been identified when
we are experiencing loving, appreciative feelings.

In his book, “Healing the Hardware of the Soul”, Dr Daniel Amen studied the brain differences
between sadness and happiness, which was reported in the American Journal of Psychiatry in
1995. Dr Amen, a psychiatrist and neuroscientist, demonstrated how our thoughts and feelings
impact directly upon our brains capacity to function. Using a neuro-imaging technique called
the SPECT scan, he was able to identify the connection with blood flow to the brain and
behavioural patterns.

The two figures illustrate images of : blood flow to the brain when experiencing negative

thoughts and feelings, and blood flow to the brain when experiencing appreciative thoughts
and feelings.
