📍More Information about this meditation:
Based loosely on the Quick Coherence Technique taught by the Heart Math Institute.

“HeartMath research has demonstrated that different patterns of heart activity (which accompany different emotional states) have distinct effects on cognitive and emotional function.
During stress and negative emotions,
when the heart rhythm pattern is erratic and disordered,
the corresponding pattern of neural signals traveling from the heart to the brain inhibits higher cognitive functions.
This limits our ability to think clearly,
remember, learn, reason, and make effective decisions.
(This helps explain why we may often act impulsively and unwisely when we’re under stress.)
The heart’s input to the brain during stressful or negative emotions also has a profound effect on the brain’s emotional processes—actually serving to reinforce the emotional experience of stress.
In contrast, the more ordered and stable pattern of the heart’s input to the brain during positive emotional states has the opposite effect—it facilitates cognitive function and reinforces positive feelings and emotional stability.
This means that learning to generate increased heart rhythm coherence,
by sustaining positive emotions,
not only benefits the entire body,
but also profoundly affects how we perceive,
think, feel, and perform.”

“When we experience uplifting emotions such as appreciation, joy, care, and love;
our heart rhythm pattern becomes highly ordered,
looking like a smooth, harmonious wave (an example is shown in the figure below).
This is called a coherent heart rhythm pattern.
When we are generating a coherent heart rhythm,
the activity in the two branches of the ANS is synchronized and the body’s systems operate with increased efficiency and harmony.”
