Why use this meditation
What is The HeartMath Institute?
The HeartMath Institute was founded in 1991. They developed a system of effective, scientifically based tools to bridge the intuitive connection between heart and mind and deepen our connection with others.
Fortunately for us, The HeartMath Institute continue to be actively committed to “helping awaken the heart of humanity.”
Over the years, this draw to more heart connection has grown. People are nudged towards it by their own intuition or conscience to listen to their hearts and connect with inner guidance.
Essentially, the system empowers people to self-regulate their emotions, behaviours and essential physiology. This enables them to reduce stress and unlock intuitive guidance for making more effective and healthier choices.
What is coherence?
The keys to sustainably reducing stress and staying connected to our heart are not relaxation, exercise or time management.
Instead, over the last three decades, research has revealed an optimal physiological state termed cardiac (heart) coherence. We used to think this state was beyond our capacity to modulate.
Coherence means a state of internal synchronisation in which the physical heart, brain, and nervous system are able to work in coordination and efficiency.
Basically, we now know that learning to access coherence throughout the day directly reduces stress and improves health and resilience.
This knowledge allowed HeartMath to prove that with simple training, we can quickly learn to bring ourselves into this state of coherence “in the moment”.
This guided meditation is the quickest way to learn to do this.
