A Scientific Monograph e-booklet by Dr. Rollin McCraty and Dr. Robert A. Reese

The Benefits of Heart Coherence to Human Physiology

This insightful work explores the science behind heart coherence, the psychophysiological state that is marked by calm, emotional balance and alertness and is conducive to improved cognitive capability for problem-solving, decision-making, long-term memory and more. The authors explain in simple terms the heart's role in the emotional process and how intentionally experiencing positive emotions such as care, compassion and love can help you achieve heart coherence. This scientific monograph, which originally appeared in the landmark book, Stress in Health and Disease, also discusses HeartMath's emotion-refocusing tools and techniques and heart-rhythm-coherence feedback training, which many health experts around the world use with clients to improve their health.
