Coherence

The article "Coherence: The Heart Connection to Personal, Social, and Global Health" by Rollin McCraty explores the concept of coherence, which is the state of internal and external connectedness that is crucial for health and well-being. Coherence involves the alignment of various physiological systems, such as the heart, brain, and autonomic nervous system, and is associated with positive emotions like love and compassion. The article discusses how heart coherence can improve cognitive function, emotional stability, and resilience, and how these benefits can extend from individual health to social and global levels. McCraty emphasizes the importance of heart-brain communication, heart rate variability (HRV), and the role of the heart in intuition and decision-making. Techniques to enhance coherence, such as heart-focused breathing and emotional self-regulation, are presented as ways to achieve greater personal, social, and global coherence.
