Try the Balancing Breath Technique for as little as one minute to create a shift. Slow, deep, rhythmic breathing helps create a coherent heart rhythm.īelly breathing helps to activate your body’s relaxation & healing response. ![]() Gratitude is a powerful emotion that feels pleasant and expansive and can also even re-wire your brain for the better.Īnother way to activate coherence is by intentionally shifting your breathing patterns. Make time during your day for a quick gratitude pause and notice how you feel. Making a daily habit out of intentionally creating positive emotional experiences can help your heart become coherent. They even strengthen our physical bodies by building up our bodily systems and organs while even strengthening our immunity as Heartmath research has shown. They can impact our ability to think, process, create, reason, and remember. This is visual evidence of the power of positive emotional states. Notice the more harmonious, sine-wave-like pattern that represents improved brain function and heart coherence. ![]() The bottom blue reading was recorded during a moment of appreciation. Notice the jagged pattern that represents energy being drained while brain function and performance decline. The heart rhythm reading on top in red was recorded during a moment of frustration. The image above was taken as part of a study conducted by the Institute of Heartmath, who wanted to track how different emotions affect the body, specifically how they affect the heart. Positive emotions and positive feelings such as gratitude, appreciation, contentment, and inspiration activate heart coherence.īy the same token, negative emotions create a state of incoherence. – Heartmath Institute, Science of the Heart What activates heart coherence? (source: Heartmath Institute)Īs it turns out, the most effective ways to really reduce stress and anxiety and even feelings of overwhelm is to learn how to access the intelligence of the heart and shift the rhythms of the heart. When we speak of heart-rhythm coherence or physiological coherence, we are referring to a specific assessment of the heart’s rhythms that appears as smooth, ordered and sine-wavelike patterns.įrom a physics perspective, when we are in a coherent state, virtually no energy is wasted because our systems are performing optimally and there is synchronization between heart rhythms, the respiratory system, blood-pressure rhythms, etc.Īmong the many benefits of personal coherence are increased composure, more energy, clear thinking, enhanced immune system function, and hormonal balance. Your mind feels clear, intuition gets louder, problem-solving skills amplify because brain function improves as do cognitive functions.Ĭoherence is good for health care and stress management.Ī coherent state also has the power to accelerate healing, increase stress reduction, boost and strengthen immunity, and re-balance chaotic hormones.Ĭoherence, in any system, from the human body to social affairs, refers to a logical, orderly and harmonious connectedness between parts of a system or between people. When a coherent heart syncs with your brain you literally get smarter. This awakens your body’s own innate intelligence. This means that our body, thoughts, and feelings are in sync and flowing together in a way that promotes health, well-being, and healing.Įntering a state of coherence is like switching the gears inside your mind, heart, and gut. – The Heartmath Institute, leaders in research on heart intelligence, coherence, intuition, and the science of interconnectivity. It is a state of optimal clarity, perception, and performance. ![]() Stress levels recede, energy levels increase and our brain and the “heart brain” work together. The more balanced and smooth they are, the more in sync, or coherent we are. It can be measured by our heart-rhythm patterns: The synchronization of our physical, mental and emotional systems. *Psychophysiology: the study of how our mental state and bodily responses impact one another. This is what we call heart coherence (aka: cardiac coherence, psychophysiological coherence) Your heart has the ability to create entrainment (synchronization) with your body’s systems such as your nervous system, your immune system, and your digestive system. The electromagnetic field your heart generates is 5,000 times stronger than the field generated by your brain. ![]() – Doc Childre, founder of the Institute of Heartmath & author of “The Heartmath Solution”ĭid you know that your heart generates the most powerful energetic field in your body? Negative thoughts and feelings deplete our store of energy.Īnger, jealousy, and judgmental thoughts, for example, are energy deficits. ![]()
