Making Heartprints

What are heartprints? Heartprints are impressions made by our thoughts, feelings, words and deeds. They affect not only ourselves, but those around us and, as they resonate with other heartprints, they create the emotional climate we live in.

The Heartprint Effect

Each of our heartprints contributes to the emotional climate as well as the actual physical world created by humans. Because we live in a highly interdependent world, small events, like a smile or a frown, contribute to larger events in faraway places. Scientist call this “The Butterfly Effect.”

When it refers to weather it can describe how a butterfly fluttering its wings in Tokyo can theoretically affect the weather in New York. The Heartprint Effect works like the Butterfly Effect. Small, individual feelings, thoughts, words, and deeds are significant. Each of us is important. Read more about the Heartprint Effect.

Heartprints for Humanity

Human beings have a tremendous potential for developing warm, caring hearts and open, rational minds. When we develop and use these potentials we create heartprints for humanity…..heartprints that benefit us and the world simultaneously by changing the emotional climate we live in.
