  • Chronic stress shrinks the hippocampus, or memory center in the brain. A cascade of 1,400 difference biochemical's is released by the body as soon as it sense stress. These hormones and neurotransmitters affect how you perceive your environment and what you feel.
  • Your heart communicates with your brain in four important ways: neurologically (through the nervous system), biochemically (through hormones and neurochemicals produced within the heart), mechanically (through the pulse wave flowing through the bloodstream) and electromagnetically (through electrical signals generated when the heart contracts and broadcasted through the heart's electromagnetic field.
    —McCraty and Atkinson
  • Stress is the non-specific response of the body to any demand for change.
    —Hans Selye
