Real-time guided breathing, around six cycles per minute, to synchronise heart rate and breathing — and bring the nervous system back toward balance.
Cardiac coherence relies on slow, regular breathing close to the "resonance frequency" of the cardiovascular system (about six breaths per minute). At that rhythm, heart-rate variations amplify and synchronise with the breath: the signature of a flexible, responsive autonomic nervous system.
A sensor measures your heart rhythm live and a visual guide paces your breathing: you see, in real time, coherence settling in. This feedback loop engages the baroreflex and trains the nervous system to better regulate stress (Lehrer & Gevirtz, Frontiers in Psychology, 2014).
A meta-analysis of heart-rate-variability biofeedback studies has associated the practice with reduced self-reported stress and anxiety (Lehrer et al., 2020). It is a simple tool, reproducible at home, that we calibrate to your individual resonance frequency.
A few minutes of coherence, one to three times a day, to establish a calming breathing rhythm and better control over tension peaks.
Before a talk, a competition or a demanding moment: a re-centring pause to approach effort with more clarity.
In the evening, the practice favours the shift toward the parasympathetic mode and prepares the body for sleep onset.
