Dear Friend,

Hi! It’s Emerson and Moses.
It’s nice to meet you!

This book was created with love from our family to yours! Chilla Gorilla is inspired by our Papa, and Lanky Lemur is inspired by me, Emerson!

When Mama started teaching us how to tune in to our hearts, our whole family became happier and calmer (well, calm some of the time! My brother and I love to have fun!).

We sincerely wish you joy, lots of fun,
and peace!

With Love,

ABOUT THE HEARTALIGN™ MEDITATION: This child and family-friendly version of the HeartAlign™ Meditation will help your little ones and the whole family find peace within, and find the steady anchor inside the heart, to move past big feelings and emotions into calmness.

The HeartAlign™ Meditation has been proven in research to efficiently increase coherence, or heart-brain communication, pivotal for health and happiness. Coherence helps you access heart intelligence, which is the foundation for emotional intelligence, as well as tap into the heart emotions: peace, compassion, love and care!

The HeartAlign™ Meditation is adapted in part from HeartMath’s Quick Coherence Technique, with their permission, and it also incorporates some of Paramahansa Yogananda’s techniques.

The team at Solluna ran a study on the HeartAlign™ Meditation with the HeartMath Institute’s research team, with 30 participants practicing the meditation over four weeks, four to five times a week. There was an average increase of 29 percent in coherence levels of participants being able to shift into and sustain a state of coherence. And importantly, there was a 10 percent increase in their resting state coherence levels, indicating that they had established a new baseline of coherence. In other words, the participants had reprogrammed their nervous system to a more optimal functional state in just one month.

The more you practice this meditation, the more you and your family will feel inner peace, harmony, peace, and calm 
through big feelings!

Aim to practice the HeartAlign™ Meditation ideally four to five times a week like the study participants to glean the maximum coherence benefits- but as much as you can practice is amazing! There are also adult HeartAlign™ Meditation tracks available here soon.
