FAQ’s
Pulse Sensor
The Global Coherence App was created by HeartMath Institute to enable anyone to create or join a coherence group. Using either the Inner Balance™ Coherence Sensor or your phone’s camera as a sensor, you can measure your individual HRV coherence and see the coherence contribution of your group, as well as the global community at large. The donor-funded app is free for everyone. Learn more or purchase Pulse Sensor.
What is Heart Coherence?
Heart coherence is a state of cooperative alignment between the heart, mind, emotions and physical systems. When we speak of heart-rhythm coherence or physiological coherence, we are referring to a specific assessment of the heart’s rhythms that appears as smooth, ordered and sine-wavelike patterns. From a physics perspective, when we are in a coherent state, virtually no energy is wasted because our systems are performing optimally and there is synchronization between heart rhythms, the respiratory system, blood-pressure rhythms, and other bodily systems. Among the many benefits of personal coherence are increased composure, more energy, clear thinking, enhanced immune-system function and hormonal balance
Personal, Social and Global Coherence
Personal coherence is a measurable physiological state where your heart, mind, emotions, and physical systems work in cooperative alignment, achieved through positive emotions like appreciation and compassion, resulting in improved well-being, clearer thinking, and better health outcomes. Social coherence occurs when this heart-centered state extends to your relationships and groups—research demonstrates that individuals skilled in generating personal coherence can measurably raise the coherence levels of people nearby, creating harmonious connections within families, teams, and organizations that improve group dynamics and collective performance. Global coherence expands beyond individuals and groups to planetary scale, based on scientific evidence that as increasing numbers of people add coherent energy to Earth’s magnetic field environment through intentional heart-focused practices, it strengthens mutually beneficial feedback loops between human beings and the planet itself, ultimately contributing to solutions for humanity’s greatest challenges.
Global Coherence Research
We live inside Earth’s magnetic field, an invisible environment that touches every living system. Our Global Coherence research studies how changes in solar and geomagnetic activity affect human heart rhythms, emotions, and behavior—shedding light on how planetary forces and human consciousness may be interconnected.
