What Is Heart-Brain Coherence
Heart-Brain Coherence is a physiological state, based on over 30 years of scientific studies and research by the HeartMath Institute that as practiced aligns All Our Parts – Cells, Systems, Functions, into Greater Wholeness and Wellbeing. It is in this state that our bodies can change, realign and transform. It is in this state that many positive changes begin to happen. It is in this state that neuroplasticity begins – rewiring of our brain for coherently changing our programming, habits and practices to increased deeper and higher wellness.
Heart-Brain Coherence is a science-based practice of synchronizing your heart and brain to be in alignment with each other for optimal performance. When this “life giving” alignment is created, by entrainment all other systems will also align and come into balance, optimal perfomance and harmonious flow with each other on every level – mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual.
Heart-Brain Coherence brings our nervous system into balance and creates coherence between our heart, mind, emotions, body, spirit. It raises our inner electrical vibrational levels to a greater presence and experience of wellbeing. This alignment is key to clearing stress, unlocking our higher capacities, and to gaining deeper inner wisdoms.
It is a highly healthy state supporting high performance and improvements in all our functions. It is a synchronized and empowering state that allows us to become our best selves. It is a state of greater wellness that supports a flow of wholeness on all levels of our body and being.
Heart-Brain Coherence brings out the very best in us….on all levels.
It is a physiological state where our body’s systems, our breathing, heart rhythms, brain rhythms and hormonal response, are in sync with each other and working harmoniously with each other. This state promotes emotional stability and composure, mental clarity, and overall wellbeing.
Research by the HeartMath Institute indicates that heart-brain coherence can be self-generated, as one becomes trained, leading to less mental and emotional stress, more inner security and stability which leads to greater states of wellness and healing.
It is an Empowering State on all levels.

About your Heart-Brain Coherence training with Inner Balance Coherence Plus App that measures HRV
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is revealed on the Inner Balance App
Heart Rate Variability (HRV): Is a pattern of heart rate variability, which is the variation in time between heartbeats. When in a coherent state, the heart rate becomes smoother and more regular, unlike the jagged pattern associated with stress. See chart below.
As Heart-Brain Coherence is developed, optimal performance, inner wellness, and enjoyment of life increases. It is our Heart Rate Variability (HRV) that determines our personal alignment with Coherence versus Incoherence.
For best results, an Inner Balance Biofeedback Training Device is recommended with 5 seconds to 5 seconds real time biofeedback of your Heart Rate Variability as recorded during your practices.
See chart below for scientifically monitored results using HeartMath Technology
HeartMath Biofeedback Training App
The HeartMath app is a stress-reduction and resilience-building application that uses biofeedback to help users improve focus and emotional well-being by synchronizing their heart, mind, and emotions. It provides guided sessions, progress tracking, and other features, and is often used with a hardware sensor like the Inner Balance Coherence Plus for real-time feedback on a user’s “coherence score”. The app is available on both iOS and Android.
Inner Balance Coherence Plus
Don’t just track HRV. Train it.
The Inner Balance Coherence Plus isn’t just a sensor—it’s a nervous system trainer. In just minutes a day, it helps you shift into heart–brain coherence, a high-performance state linked to lower stress, faster recovery, sharper cognitive function, and long-term resilience. Think of it as biofeedback for upgrading your biology—giving you a measurable way to train calm, focus, and adaptability at the core of your system
