The heart can guide and help regulate our emotions and mental state.
The HeartMath Institute has been doing Global Coherence research since 2008 focusing on “intentionally evolving human consciousness” through contentedness and resonance to the self, others, and the field of our planet.
The sun and Earth have a natural magnetic activity that relates to human and animal’s brains, heartbeats, and nervous system essentially connecting all beings to an internal, natural rhythm. Each person can affect this magnetic field. When people focus their energy towards creating loving kindness for themselves and others this field will elevate and can help others who aren’t practicing. Their research suggests that a “large number of people generating heart centered states of care, love, and compassion…will offset the current planetary discord.”
When in coherence, our bodies sync up with the earth (around 7.8 hertz, and between 5 to 6 breaths per minute). The electromagnetic field generated by our hearts is 100x stronger than that of our brains and can be measured several feet away from our bodies. There is evidence that “an energetic field is formed among individuals in groups through which communication among all the group members occurs simultaneously. In other words, there is an actual ‘group field’ that connects all the members.”
Some traditional hymns, chants, and prayers use patterns that create coherence in your body. James Nestor’s research for Breath led him to these two ancient chants and a song that hold a pattern of chanting or singing for a count of 5 or 6 seconds then having a period of silence in which the singers inhale before resuming the chant or song for 5–6 seconds. The chants are Sat Ta Na Ma and Om Mani Padme with 6 second each and the song is the Latin version of Ave Maria at 5.5 seconds.
Breathing in and out through your nose helps to connect the breath to the heart rate by slowing the breath down as compared to breathing in and out through the mouth.
An excerpt from Dr. Belisa Vranich’s book Breathe states that: “Coherent Breathing joins your heartbeat and your breath. … You want to aim for 5 to 6 breaths a minute (with a resting heart rate of about 60). If you inhale for 5 seconds and then exhale for 5 seconds, your body parts are working in unison, in harmony. This type of breathing promotes optimal health and the synchronicity of your body.”
Our hearts connect us to each other and the earth.
