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...

Heart-Brain Communication Traditionally, the study of communication pathways between the head and heart has been approached from a rather one-sided perspective, with scientists focusing primarily on the heart’s responses to the brain’s commands. We have learned, however, that communicati...

The goal of this study was to evaluate the influence of a HeartMath training apparatus on personal resilience and physiological coherence. A within group, pre-test and post-test, outcome evaluative design was employed to assess changes in dependent variables. A small convenience sample of 6 par...

Introduction This study aims to test the feasibility and explore the effects of training in cardiac coherence of people who have with intellectual disabilities in conjunction with their work in sheltered workshops. People with intellectual disability may have difficulties in managing stressful and e...

Leadership development is essential to global competitiveness and corporate sustainability. Organizations often frame the development of leadership in terms of "competencies," or the behavioral skills and areas of knowledge required by the business. However, focusing on competencies alone...

Previous research studies have indicated that biofeedback treatment and relaxation techniques are effective in reducing psychological and physical symptoms (Hammond, 2005; Manzoni, G. M., Pagnini, F., Castelnuovo, G., & Molinari, E., 2008). However, dearth of studies has compared heart rate vari...
