Heart Coherence
In Amsterdam and Haarlem – English spoken
What does heart coherence do?
Rhythmic variations in a heartrate is a coherent heartrate. When you are in a state of coherence your hormone-, nervous- and immune system tune up to this harmonious rhythm of your heart, so you are ‘in the flow’ or ‘in the zone’. When you’re in the flow you will find that you have more energy, you feel happier and brighter, you can think more clearly and creatively- also during stressful situations. This is because blood flow to your neo cortex (your ‘thinking brain’) is increased and cortisol levels decrease while production of hormone DHEA increases.
The picture below shows the heartrate of someone just sitting on a chair, although this person is at this moment not exposed to stress the heartrate is clearly chaotic. Halfway you see a shift to coherence with a simple heart coherence exercise. Experience how you can bring yourself in ‘the flow’ and what this can mean to you!
The power of heart coherence
You can say to someone that he/she should think more positively, feeling more positively or behave differently. But very little chance this mere verbal advise will help at all- it is nothing more than an idea, a thought. So if you’re thinking ‘I will cope better with stress’ it mostly remains just a thought.
When you want to make a change in how you act, think and feel, you need to make a change at a more basic layer: your physiology.
As you see in the image above, even in a rested position the heart rate is pretty chaotic. Your whole body is in a chaotic state and even your organs, including your brain, get their blood and oxygen supply in this chaotic way. Learn how to apply the simple exercises of heart coherence in your daily life and you change fundamentally. This fundamental change in your physiology will automatically make a positive change in your thinking, feeling and acting. Also people who have been depressed or have symptoms of depression can experience great improvements.
