Biofeedback - Heart Rate Variability - Coherence.

Increasing Physiological Coherence is Your Goal

Research has shown that emotions are reflected in heart rhythm patterns. Your heart rhythms are particularly sensitive to changes in your emotional state. When you shift to a positive emotion, such as appreciation, your heart rhythm pattern changes from a jagged, irregular pattern to a smoother, more wave-like form. We call this physiological coherence.

Another way to achieve coherence is through breathing at a certain rate. Easier said than done. So we have all kinds of ways to help you become aware, remind you, and motivate you to form the habit. Then you don't need reminders anymore. But you will always have a way to prepare for The Zone or recover from stress.

This shift in heart rhythms indicates increased synchronization and harmony between the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system. The synchronization has beneficial effects on the neural, hormonal and biochemical systems. When you are in a coherent state, your body is more in-sync and aligned. You gain clarity, calmness, focus, and control of your emotions. The benefits are both short-term and long-lasting.
