Heart Brain Coherence Benefits

Heart brain coherence helps you quickly shift from stress to peace.

Is stress sabotaging your health and happiness? With fast-paced schedules and never-ending to-do lists, reducing stress is essential for your emotional well-being and quality of life. Stress is the biggest contributor to dis-ease as it restricts the energetic flow of your emotions, creativity, and healing. High levels of stress hormones can lead to issues with anger, anxiety, depression, sleep, and more. By using heart brain coherence techniques you can shift from stress to peace in minutes!

Heart Brain Coherence

What is heart brain coherence? Coherence happens when your heart and brain function, connect, and communicate, as one unified system. This coherent state feels like your mind, body, and emotions are in sync, which helps you like you have better self-regulation and emotional stability. 

Being in a physiological state of coherence allows you to access the wisdom of your heart AND brain simultaneously.

Tapping into the power of your heart’s intelligence and intuitive guidance can help you make better decisions and handle challenges. Heart brain coherence also enhances your intuition and calms your sympatheticnervous system, helping you shift in to a relaxed, parasympathetic nervous system.

Heart Rate Variability (HRV)

How do you achieve a state of heart coherence? You can use simple techniques to achieve heart brain coherence (HBC) and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) to measure it. HRV reflects your inner state. If you don’t have access to a HRV device, you can also notice how you feel. With incoherence, you feel… negative emotions, fatigue, stress, anxiety, mental fog, impatient, reactive, confused, tired, depleted, stuck, and frustrated. With heart rhythm coherence, you feel… positive emotions, energized, resilient, calm, mental clarity, patient, relaxed, intuitive, rested, rejuvenated, creative, and appreciative.

What is HeartMath?

The HeartMath Institute is based on over 25 years of scientific research. This includes over 300 independent peer-reviewed studies that focus on how the heart influences emotions, perceptions, health, and intuition. These studies show the connection between the heart and brain and stress reduction, finding balance, and building resilience.

Your heart is constantly emitting energy from you and it’s through this unseen vibration that all living things are connected. This video explains the importance of this connection and how deeper awareness can support your well-being.

Biofeedback at Home

What’s the best way to do biofeedback? The HeartMath Inner Balance device is best for individuals, while the EmWavePro device is best for multiple users. Both technologies track your heart-rhythm or Heart Rate Variability (HRV) in real-time.

Get started by downloading the HeartMath Inner Balance app or EmWave software and attaching the sensor clip to your earlobe. The app tracks HRV and guides you into greater coherence. With practice, these methods strengthen intuition and resilience. Try this Quick Coherence Technique to experience the benefits!

How Does it Work?

• Observe your HRV or your inner balance.

• Use the different techniques while focusing on positive feelings.

• Get feedback to confirm positive shifts AND sustain them.

• Practice for a few minutes at a time throughout your day.

Heart Intelligence

Your heart is much more than an organ. Neuro-cardiologists have found that the heart has its own independent nervous system. Although it might surprise you, the heart and brain are in constant communication and the heart does MOST of the talking. The role of the heart is to send important signals to your entire body to create a coherent state that supports relaxation and healing.

Does Heart Brain Coherence Increase Intuition?

Your heart is a spiritual access point for intuitive intelligence that surpasses that of the brain. As Dr. Rollin McCraty’s research indicates, your heart communicates a steady stream of intuitive info to your brain. As you relax your mind and tune into these feelings, you’ll naturally strengthen your intuition and access a deeper understanding of yourself, others, and life’s challenges.

Intuition is a source of deep wisdom and inner knowingness that bypasses normal thought patterns. When you’re connected to your intuition, you overcome limitations much easier.

Energetic Heart

Your heart’s electromagnetic field (EMF) is 60 times greater than your brain’s! This field extends around your body and is greatly impacted by your emotional health.

Why Focus on Positive Feelings?

Connecting with genuine heart-felt feelings of love, courage, compassion, kindness, appreciation, gratitude, empathy, and patience creates a smooth and harmonious hear-brain rhythm that can have a powerful influence on your immune system, health and daily life.

Heart brain interactions impact EVERYTHING, including your physical health and how you feel. You deserve to live in a relaxed state in the present moment.

Benefits of Heart Coherence

HeartMath’s research proves that different heart patterns have different effects on your thoughts and behaviors. Over 11,500 HeartMath study participants experienced improvements in 6-9 weeks of implementing heart brain coherence techniques.

Health Benefits Include

• 56% drop in depression
• 48% drop in fatigue
• 46% drop in anxiety
• 38% improvement in calmness
• 30% improvement in sleep quality
• 24% improvement in the ability to focus

Is HeartMath a Relaxation Program?

No. Although it’s relaxing, heart brain coherence (a coherent heart rhythm pattern) is the goal. Achieving coherence has benefits far beyond relaxation. Relaxation is a low-energy state in which you disengage from your mind and emotions. In contrast, coherence is an energized state that engages positive emotions to calm your autonomic nervous system and increase mental function.

Is HeartMath a Breathing Exercise?

No. Rhythmic breathing techniques can create coherence, but maintaining constant focus on deep breaths is challenging. Although deep breathing patterns are great, HeartMath focuses on heart emotions because it’s the most efficient way to achieve coherence. Coherence allows for increases in intuition, creativity, mental performance, and more!

What Happens if You’re in Incoherence? 

Think of a car. Incoherence is like having a foot on the gas AND brake simultaneously. This creates a jerky ride, burns more gas, and isn’t great for your car! These stressful patterns are especially damaging and depleting when prolonged.

Global Coherence Initiative

Research from the Institute of HeartMath shows our interconnectedness with all things. When you’re in heart brain coherence, you radiate a state of balance that benefits you, others, animals, and the planet. The more coherence you have, the more it helps others have it too. HeartMath also recognizes the connection between human and Earth energies, which has inspired a global coherence initiative. Through intention and cooperation, we can positively impact our world. By improving your heart brain coherence, you become more conscious of the thoughts, feelings, and emotions that you feed the “field.” This leads to a deep sense of global harmony, and peace. HeartMath Founder, Doc Childre says…

“Dare to connect with your heart. You will be lifting not only yourself and those you love and care about, but also the world in which you live.”
