In the early 1990s, researchers at the Institute of HeartMath in California identified a distinct pattern in the heart rhythms that is characteristic of positive emotions like appreciation, care, love, and compassion. These patterns reflect physiological coherence - when the heart, brain, and nervous system are working in harmony.Emotions move faster than thought and are registered by the heart before the brain.

The heart pulses out a rhythmic pattern that reflects our emotional state, transmitting this information to the brain, the rest of the body, and even into the environment - via an electromagnetic field. Based on these discoveries, The Institute of HeartMath has created a set of positive-emotion-focused techniques that foster a state of coherence. These techniques have been proven to increase heart rhythm coherence and reduce stress and anxiety. There have been dozens of studies on these practices, demonstrating the profoundly beneficial effects on the heart, cognitive functions, immune system functioning and overall health. The items on this page provide wonderful ways to help you test and build up your ability to enter into a state of coherence at will, so that you can enhance your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health.
