Can Love & Compassion Literally Change the World? Join Our Global Heart Experiment & Find Out

Guest: Rollin McCraty, Ph.D.



Are we truly interconnected? Can our thoughts and emotions impact the world around us? In this episode, our host, Deborah Rozman, talks with Rollin McCraty, Director of Research for the HeartMath Institute. Rollin and Deborah discuss exciting research exploring the link between heart rhythm coherence, Earth’s magnetic field, and humanity’s collective energy. 



Rollin talks about a new citizen science project, inviting people around the world  (including our podcast listeners) to participate in a collective heart-focused meditation experiment radiating love and compassion into Earth’s magnetic field that will be happening in May 2024. You’ll hear about how this groundbreaking citizen science experiment will utilize a global network of sensors to detect subtle shifts in Earth’s magnetic field and how these shifts may contribute to a more peaceful and harmonious planet. Rollin explains how this experiment is part of the HeartMath Institute’s Global Consciousness Project 2.0 and its hypothesis that shifts in Earth’s magnetic field may be linked to human consciousness.  



So, if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the world situation, be sure to listen in and experience the hope that this new research provides. The podcast closes with a guided collective heart meditation to cultivate more heart coherence in yourself and co-create a reservoir of coherent heart energy that we can all tap into when we need an uplift. 



This episode is a must-listen for anyone who believes in the power of love and compassion to create positive change in our world.
