 <\/p>\n

Cardiac Coherence is the Source of our Inner Power. It is physical and emotional harmony<\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>When we are in coherence our nervous system and our others systems work harmoniously.<\/p>\n

It has been found that our heart has a network of neurons (40,000) that work autonomously<\/em><\/strong>, much like a small brain. These neurons send signals directly to our brain. Despite its size, the electromagnetic field generated by this neurons system ranges from 90 centimetres to 2 metres, while the electromagnetic field generated by the brain itself oscillates between 3 centimetres and 2\u20195 metres.<\/p>\n

The signals that the heart sends to the brain regulate our emotions<\/em><\/strong>. The heart has neurons with long and short-term memory. The signals these neurons send to the brain affect our emotional experiences. The electromagnetic field that the heart emits can also change, depending on the emotions we experience<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The heart sends much more information to the brain than the brain to the heart. In fact, 80% of the communication goes from the heart to the brain and only 20% the other way around<\/em>. The heart generates 60 times more energy than the brain and the amplitude of its waves is 5,000 times bigger.<\/strong><\/p>\n

By being aware of this information we can see the relevance and importance of our emotions in our own life experience. \u201cThe heart is right\u201d.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Feeling or remembering negative emotions unbalances our nervous system.<\/em><\/strong> When we feel negative emotions the heart sends signals to the brain, which in turn sends signals to the hormonal system. Some chemicals such as cortisol are released to the blood and can be harmful to our health if produced in excess. In this situation, our Heart Rate Variability is disordered and Incoherent.<\/p>\n

An Incoherent Heart Rate Variability blocks cognitive functions such as attention, memory, perception and problem solving. <\/em><\/strong>In a state of incoherence we are more likely to suffer stress, anxiety, apathy, depression, etc. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

On the other hand, positive emotions generate physiological and psychological benefits. On the physiological level, evoking positive emotions such as love, joy, gratitude, compassion, etc., stimulates the immune system. Our health increases and we feel lighter. <\/em><\/strong>On the psychological level, positive emotions allow the brain to be more creative and to find efficient solutions to real problems<\/em>.<\/strong> When we feel positive emotions the Heart Rate Variability generates Coherent waves that balance all the body systems.<\/em> <\/strong>The ability to think clearly, to learn, to remember, to reason and to make right decisions is significantly increased. Then we find ourselves in Cardiac Coherence.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Talking about Cardiac Coherence is talking about efficiency. When we are in coherence, the nervous, cardiovascular, hormonal and immune systems work harmoniously and efficiently.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What are the benefits of being in Cardiac Coherence?<\/em><\/h5>\n

Generally speaking, Cardiac Coherence increases our resilience <\/em><\/strong>\u2014the ability to overcome hard situations by returning to our \u201cnormal\u201d state<\/em><\/strong>\u2014 and sharpens our intuition.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition, Cardiac Coherence reduces stress and anxiety, strengthens the immune system, improves quality of sleep and raises our energy levels<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em> It also improves attention and concentration and increases our learning ability and problem solving skills<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Developing heart intelligence connects us deeper to ourselves and to others<\/strong>,<\/em> having a great positive impact on our relationships. We trust our intuition more. Our self-confidence increases, as well as we relay more in others. Consequently, communication is free-flowing. We are not alone in experiencing this state; people we interact with can feel it too. Electromagnetic fields also affect those around us. Check out this video<\/a><\/strong> of the HeartMath Institute.<\/p>\n

How can Horses contribute to the our Cardiac Coherence?<\/em><\/h4>\n

Horses have a heart\u2019s electromagnetic field which is\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>five times more powerful than ours, extending up to nine metres<\/em><\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
