OUR HYPOTHESIS
Harmonious communication between the heart and brain is the key to well-being.
How do you achieve heart coherence—and what does it feel like?
HeartMath Institute has spent over three decades researching how optimizing the heart-brain connection reduces stress, enhances emotional well-being, and improves our ability to think with more clarity and make better choices. Central to our work is heart-brain coherence (also known as HRV coherence or heart coherence)—a measurable state where your emotional, mental, and physical systems synchronize. This harmony shows up in your heart rate variability (HRV) patterns. When you achieve HRV coherence, your body creates optimal conditions for health and performance.
