Any suggestions for practise of the HeartMath techniques, or use of the software, should not be used in the place of sound medical therapies, treatments or recommendations made by an individual's physician, without their prior knowledge and guidance.

 

What is Cardiac Coherence?

There is a neural link between the Heart and the Brain, along which signals are sent.  These signals travel in both directions.  When the Heart sends a highly ordered rythmic and electrical signal to the Brain, this coherent state is called "Cardiac Coherence".  It has been scientifically proven that positive emotions increase coherence in the heart's rhythmic beating patterns.   Individuals who are able to sustain this signal are able to improve the health, well-being and personal performance.

How does HeartMath fit into this?

Doc Childre, co-founder at the Institute of HeartMath, spent many years researching a series of techniques to achieve this state of Cardiac Coherence.  These techniques are called the HeartMath method.   The resulting techniques are scientifically validated and are taught all over the world by licensed trainers.   Consistant practice of the techniques has been shown to help reduce stress; lower high blood pressure; enhance perception, creativity, decision-making and performance.

I am interested in HeartMath for myself, not my organisation.

Unfortunately, Hunter Kane is not set up to work with the general public on a day to day basis.  If you are interested in learning about, and using the HeartMath techniques, we would recommend that you purchase  the book entitled "The HeartMath Solution" by Doc Childre and Howard Martin which explains the techniques in detail.   The book is published in the UK by Piatkus and is available directly from ourselves in our web store, should be available to order from your local bookshop; ISBN 0-7499-2027-0; or from Amazon.   There are other publications, including "e-books" available directly from our web store.

What is the Freeze Framer Software?

The Freeze Framer software is a sophisticated and sensitive real-time bio-feedback application, which shows the user a real time snapshot of their physiology.   The application runs on a PC (and in emulation mode only on a MAC), and requires (currently) a free 9-pin serial port (see HeartMath's website for specific system requirements).  The programme does not in itself influence or interfere with the physiology, but merely reports the state of cardiac physiology at the time of use.   Without knowledge and practice of the HeartMath techniques, use of the software alone will not generate any improvements in an individual's state.  For more comprehensive information, click here.
