Discovering HeartMath and their materials about a year ago has greatly improved my life. Transforming Anxiety gave me the understanding and tools I needed to nearly eliminate low grade anxiety I have lived in for decades. When I do experience bouts occassionally, I know just what to do and can often stop it in it's tracks. The difference this has made for me is profound. It has allowed me to pursue long held dreams I could not before due to constant anxiety. Remarkable.

The timing is perfect as I just received a review request from Amazon for the book "Transforming Anxiety." Earlier today, I felt a rush of sadness come over me; it was so deep, I actually couldn't finish drinking a cup of coffee. I decided to try the HeartMath technique of breathing in and out several times while visualizing the breath coming out of my heart, and then I chose to remember an experience that filled me with love and gratitude; the tears rolled down my eyes and then I smiled. The trick is to FEEL a positive emotion, not just remember it. I kid you not, in 8 minutes my entire mood and energy level shifted! What a relief! The techniques outlined in the book have worked for me over and over again; one can indeed transform anxiety and bring a balance between the mind and the intelligent heart.

I give this book five stars and a big thanks to the authors for for their healing contributions.

I was introduced to the Heartmath solution back in 2000. While studying alternative healing methods, a colleague of mine stumbled over this method and attended a weekend retreat teaching the method. After bringing back the information we practiced with each other and found the Heartmath methods more successful for Stress and Anxiety Management than years of therapy. Therapy was only keeping us stuck on the problems and not altering thinking patterns. One has to follow the methods established by the authors and actually do what they suggest on a daily basis: not simply read, thinking the information has been absorbed. Hearthmath is something you do and you practice like meditation. The more you do and practice, the more accustomed the mind and heart becomes trained to exercise the methods allowing one to break through. The method can be transforming.

Very Informative. Many life long lessons to learn from these authors. I have had a much more self accepting way of life since I have read it.

This book, along with the Heartmath monitor, have helped me manage my anxiety to the point where I hardly even need them. I still get nervous, but nowhere near the point I was a few years ago (heart pounding, stomach churning, forehead and palms sweating). I wholeheartedly recommend the Heartmath method of working through anxiety.

we all have stress and anxiety and it's killing us slowly whether we know it or not. the heartmath approach to dealing with stress and anxiety is excellent. highly recommended for ALL! :)

The book arrived on time.
the packaging was good.
the information was very informative.
I got an A on my report.

Good book provides nice and easy tips to calm yourself during stressful situations. Simple to understand, I actually find myself using the advice provided often.

This book is written by the people who provide Heartmath biofeedback products and is a companion piece to using the equipment for anxiety treatment. I found the book to be an easy read and full of solid advice on how to use this form of biofeedback. It's also a stand alone in that even without the Heartmath products, the reader will find that practicing the techniques described in the book will reduce or eliminate their anxiety symptoms.
