Cardiac coherence is a term used to describe a state of physiological coherence that occurs when there is a synchronization between heart rate variability (HRV) and breathing rate. This synchronization leads to a more balanced and harmonious state of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which is responsible for regulating bodily functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and immune response.

Research has shown that practicing techniques to achieve cardiac coherence can have a range of benefits, including reducing stress and anxiety, improving cognitive function, and enhancing emotional regulation. This is because the state of coherence promotes a state of calm and relaxation, allowing the body to function optimally.

One common technique for achieving cardiac coherence is called heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback, which involves using a device to monitor heart rate variability and providing feedback to the individual through visual or auditory cues to

It’s all about helping individuals self-regulate their breathing. Complementary techniques may include meditation, yoga, and deep breathing exercises.
