Overview
The Coherence Coach is more than just a visualizer; it is a comprehensive learning tool. It is designed to take the guesswork out of HeartMath training by providing a structured environment where you can learn to synchronize your heart, mind, and body.
What You Will Learn
The Coach guides you through the three core steps of the Quick Coherence® technique:
- Heart-Focused Breathing: Learning to direct your attention to the area of your heart and slowing your breath.
- Heart Feeling: Evoking a positive emotion, such as appreciation or care.
- Sustaining Coherence: Using the visual and audio cues to maintain this balanced state.
Key Features
- Guided Narration: Professional audio instruction explains the science and the “how-to” of each step as you perform them.
- Five Unique Animations: You can choose from five different visual themes to accompany your practice. These animations are designed to be calming and provide a focal point for your open-eyed meditation.
- Adjustable Breathing Pacer: The pacer within the Coach can be tuned to your comfortable natural rhythm, ensuring you don’t feel rushed or strained while learning.
- Calming Music: Each animation is paired with a specific soundtrack designed to facilitate a state of physiological coherence.
