“Each emotion can have a different cardiac signature. With anticipation the heart rate rises, falls and then levels off, slowing and waiting. Respiratory and heart signals matter. The heart sends a signal to the limbic system before the frontal cortex records them. Some people have a greater ability to tune in to their physical state, are better able to notice subtle changes in their body, feel emotions intensely and recognise them in others. They are more empathetic.”

“Another of the considerable advantages is the improved quality of life as your broken sleeping patterns repair and you begin to catch up on the lost sleep. This will have a phenomenal impact on your quality of life. Waking up feeling fresh and ready to go is one of the great feelings in life.”

“Invisible suffering is the hardest to distinguish because it stems from the blindness of our own minds, where it remains so long as we are in the grip of ignorance and selfishness. Our confusion, born of a lack of judgment and wisdom, blinds us to what we must do and avoid doing to ensure that our thoughts, our words, and our actions engender happiness and not suffering. This confusion and the tendencies associated with it drive us to reenact again and again the behavior that lies at the source of our pain. If we want to counteract this harmful misjudgment, we have to awaken from the dream of ignorance and learn to identify the very subtle ways in which happiness and suffering are generated.”
