Coherent heart rate variability (HRV) is characterized by smooth, rhythmic, and regular heart rate patterns, with distinct peaks and valleys in the heart rate variability graph. This coherent pattern indicates a state of balance and optimal functioning in the autonomic nervous system, which regulates involuntary bodily functions.

Various techniques can measure and assess heart coherence, including heart rate variability analysis and biofeedback devices. These tools provide real-time feedback on heart rhythm patterns and assist individuals in learning how to consciously regulate their heart coherence.

​

Research suggests that practicing techniques to induce heart coherence, such as heart-focused breathing, can have several beneficial effects on physical and mental well-being. These effects may include reduced stress, improved emotional resilience, enhanced cognitive performance, increased self-regulation, and better overall cardiovascular health.

Heart coherence techniques often involve slowing down and deepening the breath, directing attention to the area around the heart, and cultivating positive emotions and attitudes. By consciously practicing these techniques, individuals can shift their physiological and mental states toward coherence, promoting overall well-being.
