Global Coherence Research:Human-Earth Interconnectivity Every cell in our body is bathed in an external and internal environment of fluctuating invisible magnetic forces that can affect virtually every cell and circuit in biological systems. Therefore, it should not be surprising that numerous physi...

Social Coherence: Outcome Studies in Organizations There are obvious benefits to interacting and working with individuals who have a high level of personal coherence. When members of any work group, sports team, family or social organization get along well there is a natural tendency toward good com...

Outcome Studies in Education Growing evidence of the tremendous benefits to be gained from learning to self-regulate emotions and stress at an early age is becoming increasingly apparent. In today’s fast-paced society there is mounting pressure on children to achieve and excel in school at you...

Health Outcome Studies “Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.” Hippocrates An estimated 60% to 80% of primary-care doctor visits are related to stress. HeartMath’s easily learned mental and emotion self-regulation techniques and practices can provide an effectiv...

Intuition Research:Coherence and the Surprising Role of the Heart Raising individual and global consciousness can help us improve personal and collective health, well-being and harmony. We suggest that this begins with people taking greater responsibility for their day-to-day decision...

Energetic Communication The first biomagnetic signal was demonstrated in 1863 by Gerhard Baule and Richard McFee in a magnetocardiogram (MCG) that used magnetic induction coils to detect fields generated by the human heart. A remarkable increase in the sensitivity of biomagnetic measurements has sin...

Establishing a New Baseline At the HMI Research Center, we have found that the heart plays a central role in the generation of emotional experience and therefore, in the establishment of psychophysiological coherence. From a systems perspective, the human organism is truly a vast, multidimensional i...

Coherence Definitions of Coherence Clarity of thought, speech and emotional composure The quality of being orderly, consistent and intelligible (e.g. a coherent sentence). Synchronization or entrainment between multiple waveforms A constructive waveform produced by two or more waves that are phase-...

Heart Rate Variability: An Indicator of Self-Regulatory Capacity, Autonomic Function and Health The autonomic nervous system (ANS) (Figure 1.1) is the part of the nervous system that controls the body’s internal functions, including heart rate, gastrointestinal tract and secretions o...

Resilience, Stress and Emotions As far back as the middle of the last century, it was recognized that the heart, overtaxed by constant emotional influences or excessive physical effort and thus deprived of its appropriate rest, suffers disorders of function and becomes vulnerable to disease. An earl...
