The Institute of HeartMath uh made available the techniques, three very simple steps to harmonize two neural networks into a single potent system. And we are the only form of life that can do this at will on demand. We choose. We're the only form of life that can sit in a chair and say in this moment I choose to create.
The term is coherence. And the coherence, optimum coherence is a low frequency, 0.1 hertz. And what is the method you use to harmonize? Three, three steps.
One is you shift your focus from your mind into your heart. And I've led groups with indigenous people all over the world for 40 years. And and the way they all do this is they'll always touch their heart to bring their awareness to their heart center. Some some people use a finger or two. If you're in the in the the Mayan cultures in Mexico, they use a full palm. Uh you see this in the Middle East, uh you people will greet one another with a a full palm or Buddhist will do it like this and nestle that prayer mudra right there. And the point is that your awareness will always go to the place on your body where you feel the touch. Like if I touch my arm, all my my awareness went there. Okay, that's first step. So you meet someone, you put your hands on your heart to bring awareness to your heart. Yeah. Yeah. You can do it do it that way. And this is what they do.
So the first step in heartb brain coherence uh developed by the institute of heartmath uh you shift your awareness from your mind into your heart. First step.
Second step is to slow your breathing. And the the key here it's not just enough just to slow it but you exhale for a period of time longer than you inhale because we all breathe at a different rate. So for example, if we inhale four four counts and release six, okay, that might work for me. Somebody at, you know, higher elevation might do it differently. But the point the point is when you release when you exhale for a period of time longer than you inhale, that triggers the relaxation response, parasympathetic nervous system. You're telling your body, it's a language. And what you're doing is you're telling your body, I am safe because that's the only time you right. And hyperventilating is the opposite of that. Yeah. You don't want safe at all. Yeah.
So, so second step is you're you're breathing uh slower, longer on the exhale, focusing as if your breath is coming from your heart while your focus is on your heart. Two steps.
The third step is where you create 01 hertz. You feel a feeling, a positive feeling because you choose to feel the feeling. And this is deceptively powerful, Joe, because most forms of life, including humans, only have a feeling in response to what the world shows to them. We have the ability to have a feeling because we choose to have the feeling. And what the science is showing is that the feeling of gratitude almost 100% works for everyone. We all can sense grat gratitude. I mean you can think of words like compassion that means different things different people love means different things but we can be grateful for for our children our families our lives something like that and when we feel that feeling it sends a signal a very low frequency point 0.1 hertz from the heart to the brain in the presence of the slower breathing and that harmonization between the heart and the brain is what gives all the benefits that we just shared everything you know superimmune response stem cells uh longevity enzymes all of those things and it's also if people do affirmations this is the place an affirmation is a message to the subconscious and you have to speak in a language that the subconscious recognizes and the the coherence between the heart and the brain is like a hotline to the subconscious, but you don't have to be hypnotized. So when you're saying affirmations, if you if you do it during that time, they're even even more potent.
