Cardiac coherence
An optimal state of functioning and a precious ally
Scientific Foundation of the HeartMath System
Studies conducted with over 11,500 people have shown improvements in mental and emotional well-being in just 6-9 weeks using HeartMath's training and technology.
What do we measure with real-time feedback?
Through a sensor we are able to measure how our heart rate varies, this is called heart rate variability (HRV). This allows visualizing and analyzing directly on a screen the rhythm of our heartbeat and the impact of a few minutes of practice of heart coherence methods. The more regular and harmonious the beats, the greater the coherence, the better we feel resulting in an optimal performance.
The measurement of the HRV can provide us indications on :
-
The influence of emotions and thoughts on the body
-
The effects of stress on the body
-
The functioning of our autonomic nervous system
-
Our energy reserves at our disposal
What are the benefits of cardiac coherence?
The HeartMath Institute has been a pioneer in research in this field for over 25 years. Over 300 independent, peer-reviewed studies have been published on HeartMath technologies and methodologies. These studies show that a few minutes of daily practice of heart coherence methods has been associated with numerous health and performance benefits.
What is cardiac coherence?
Have you ever experienced moments in your life when you feel completely at ease, in perfect harmony, when you have the impression that you are able to face any difficulty and remain focused, when time seems to pass quickly and nothing can disturb you? This is what we mean by cardiac coherence: a state of optimal functioning.
What happens physiologically?
The immune, hormonal and nervous systems work in coordination. The heart, mind, emotions and body are aligned and working together in harmony, allowing us to have more energy. In this state, we can observe, through real-time feedback, that the rhythm of our heartbeat is becoming increasingly regular and coherent.
In many cases, the practice was effective for:
-
Strengthening the immune system
-
Lowering blood pressure
-
Reducing cortisol levels
-
Balancing the autonomic nervous system
-
Promoting well-being and efficiency
-
Unleashing intuitive and creative abilities
-
Managing stress and emotions
-
Facilitating decision making
-
Improving communication skills
-
Managing sleep disturbances
-
Facilitating brain functions
