Heart Coherence , Stress and EmotionsHeart Coherence or Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is one of the hottest areas of health and biofeedback research! Studies have found that a low Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is the single most important leading-indicator of heart disease.When you are experiencing heart coherence, you have an increased sense of well-being. You feel less stress. Your mind slows down, and your heartrate slows and becomes more regular. You feel present as you connect with your breath and breathe. A general sense of gratitude may occur. You feel nurtured. And, good news about this... Simple practices can increase your HRV. Coherence is a state of balance and cooperation between the heart, mind, and emotions. When you are in high coherence you feel relaxed, stress becomes positive energy which you feel radiating from your heart. Your mind slows down as you enter the rhythm of your own heartbeat.

Discover Coherence for YourselfThe graph below shows a person's heart rhythms or heart rate variability while doing coherence breathing practices.Coherence can be seen in the smooth wave pattern that develops in the heart rhythms during a practice session.
How is Coherence Measured?Coherence is easily measured, recorded and displayed on the emWave2 and in the Wild Divine Relaxing Rhythms Computer Games. Coherence levels are divided into low, medium and high.Using a simple infrared sensor that goes on your ear or finger your coherence is measured by reading your heart rate variability. HRV is the pattern in your heart rhythms. The pattern is either chaotic or smooth and wavy. A chaotic heart rate variability shows that your heart is under stress. Spikes up and down in the heart rhythms are hard on the heart. On the other hand, a smooth and wavy heart rate variability is great for your heart. Your heartbeat is more regular and rises and falls in a coherent and rhythmic pattern. When this occurs the benefits of coherence are yours to enjoy as described above. Who Should Practice CoherenceAnyone, from students to athletes can find benefits of practicing heart coherence.
I have been using the emWave from HeartMath for years and find that I can easily get into a state of coherence while meditating or just doing relaxation breathing. I feel wonderful from these practices and am grateful every day that I can send my coherence into the world to the benefit of others. See the video from HeartMath..
