Natural Coherence ""

While still breathing through your heart space, stop focusing on counting and start focusing on your feline friend. Just “be with” your cat. You may gaze at them, pet them, or just close your eyes and be with their presence–whatever feels natural.

 

Believe it or not, that last step is the most important step!

 

That’s because HeartMath discovered that the activating-of-positive-emotions step is what makes the coherence happen and continue naturally, without requiring you to continue to mentally focus on your breathing rhythm.

 

They say this step also adds “increased access to intuition and creativity, cognitive and performance improvements, and favorable changes in hormonal balance.”

 

The breathing gets you started, but then quietly enjoying being with your feline friend keeps you in psychophysiological coherence.

 

To break it down, here is what’s happening:

 

Quietly appreciating your cat’s presence -> leads to Heart rhythm coherence -> leads to Breathing rhythm synchronizes with heart -> leads to multiple systems in your body fall into coherence -> leading to: Lowered stress hormone, improved emotional balance, improved mood, improved health and immunity, improved cognitive performance and creativity

 

Again, this is based on HeartMath’s research data on how we get into biological coherence and how that affects us.
