Clinical Study Results


Key Research-based Insights

• Intelligent use of emotion is key …

relaxation alone is not enough.

• Monitor and manage resilience

and stress with Heart Rhythms

(Heart Rate Variability)

• Coherence for optimal health and

performance.

Coherence

An optimal state in which the heart, mind and emotions are aligned and in sync.

Physiologically, the immune, hormonal and nervous systems function in a state of energetic coordination.
