What Is Coherence?

Short explanation of coherence as harmony among all systems' rhythms – starting with the rhythms of breathing and heart beats. Stress is the opposite of coherence. Stress reduces heart rate variability (HRV) and Coherent Breathing increases it. HRV has emerged as an important indicator of overall health. Coherence is the energetic alignment and cooperation of all of our systems.

Transcript

What is coherence? The simplest way to say it is that coherence is an internal state of harmony among the body's processes. By contrast, Stress is a state of disharmony among your body's processes. Coherence occurs whenever your breathing rhythm and your heart rhythm and your other physiological rhythms are together in sync or in phase. Coherence is the alignment and cooperation of all of our systems, Much like music is the alignment and cooperation of all the instruments in an ensemble.
