Heart-Brain Coherence

Heart-Brain Coherence explains one of Horizon's most practical subjects clearly, without the overstated claims that often accompany it. Over seven sessions it covers the autonomic nervous system, breathing, heart rate variability and what coherence can reasonably mean, interoception, stress physiology, gratitude and attention, and a small set of practices designed for difficult moments in ordinary life. Where spiritual interpretations are explored, they are labelled as interpretations. The measurable parts — rhythm, breath, attention, emotional state — are interesting enough on their own, and every session includes something you can use today.
