![]() Once you notice you are feeling a particular way, you generate more thoughts equal to how you’re feeling, and then you release more chemicals from your brain to make you feel the way you have been thinking.įor example, if you think an anxious thought, you then start to feel fear. These chemicals make your body feel exactly the same way you were thinking. When you have a thought (or a memory), a biochemical reaction happens in your brain causing it to release chemical signals. What you think and what you feel creates your state of being. Thoughts are the language of the brain and feelings are the language of the body. Living with an anxious brain and a fearful heart was horrible. ![]() However, this was not the way I wanted to live my life. In fact, most of the time I just wanted to get away from myself. And, after 12 months of chronic sleep deprivation and a few major life stressors/crises, you could definitely justify that this was “normal” for me. Sure, that certainly is a common experience for a new mother and could be deemed “normal”. Now some might say that is just normal for a new mother. Has she stopped breathing….heart races and you feel fearful and anxious. Joy experienced, immediately followed by that sense of doom. Like you look at your beautiful child sleeping, feel a sense of pure love and peace and the immediate next thought and feeling is what is going to go wrong? She’s going to die in her sleep. I lived in a state of fear and anxiety, I certainly couldn’t make a logical decision, I definitely couldn’t remember anything and any joy experienced was what Brene Brown terms “foreboding joy”. This is how I felt for some time after the birth of my first child. In other words, the brain becomes incoherent. ![]() It is much harder to remember things and it is certainly much harder to communicate effectively, rationally and calmly. We also know that when the brain is stressed, when it is overwhelmed, when there is chaotic thinking, it is much harder to make rational and logical decisions. ![]() We know that elevated emotions such as joy, compassion, love and appreciation feel much better and usually encourage more productive, caring and stress free lives. Whereas, emotions of anger, frustration, hate and lack, produce states of mind that feel much worse and produce more stress and unkind behaviours, to both ourselves and others. This information is very new in terms of our current evidence based medical paradigms, however, it is ancient wisdom in terms of what we intuitively and historically know about human function and behaviour. Over 250 independent peer-reviewed studies have been published on HeartMath technologies and methodologies.Learning the science and application of heart coherence and brain coherence has been the most important and profound lessons in my professional and personal life thus far. HeartMath has been a pioneer in HRV research and self-regulation training for over 25 years. A few minutes of daily coherence practice has been shown to reduce and prevent the adverse effects of stress, such as overwhelm, fatigue and exhaustion, sleep disruption, anxiety, and burnout. Recommended by health professionals worldwide, HRV coherence training has been associated with many health and performance benefits. The Inner Balance technology trains us to self-generate a highly efficient physiological state called HRV coherence, which helps us increase emotional composure and clearer reasoning. ![]() HRV offers a unique window into the quality of communication between the heart and brain, which directly impacts how we feel and perform. The Inner Balance technology analyzes and displays our heart rhythm, measured by Heart Rate Variability (HRV), which indicates how emotional states are affecting our nervous system. The difference between the Inner Balance Lightning and Inner Balance Bluetooth is that Lighting devices plug into and only work with iOS operating devices - whereas the Bluetooth will work with Android or iOS devices. HRV analysis is a noninvasive measurement that reflects heart-brain interaction and autonomic nervous system dynamics, which are particularly sensitive to changes in your emotional state. This type of measurement is known as heart-rate variability analysis or HRV. Once you have downloaded the Inner Balance App, connect your Sensor to your Bluetooth, attach your Sensor to your garment and clip on your earpiece, then you are ready to begin! Inner Balance incorporates an advanced heart-rate monitor that measures even subtle changes in your heart rhythms. ![]()
