This is an incredible shot of the arterial vasculature of a normal human heart. The way we feel emotionally is directly linked to the way our heart beats and the way our energy reacts with the world. When you are worried, stressed or unhappy, your heart rate increases and the arterial vessels of your body constrict. This vessel constriction forces the heart to beat against a higher pressure, which leads to the phenomenon of high blood pressure. Happiness and laughter are directly linked to better heart health. Laughing can send twenty percent more bloodflow through your body while also relaxing your blood vessels, therefore decreasing blood pressure. This is a great way to explain way happiness is linked to infinitely better health and heightened interaction with the world.
