HeartMath Resources

The HeartMath programs have helped thousands of people worldwide lead healthier and happier lives with heart-focused programs, services, games, and more. 

When you experience stressful emotions such as tension, anxiety, irritation and anger, your heart-rhythm pattern becomes irregular and in coherent, negatively affecting your health, brain function, performance and sense of well-being. When you experience positive emotions such as appreciation, care, joy and love, your heart rhythm pattern is more ordered and coherent. Graphs show heart rhythms when stressed compared to heart rhythms when feeling positive emotions.

When our heart, brain, and autonomic nervous systems are in sync we call this a Coherence. You can think of coherence as a simultaneous state of relaxation, readiness and revitalization. Coherence improves performance, health and emotional well-being.

Bioenergy Therapy& Treatments

Bioenergy Therapy is a powerful energy therapy that balances the energy body on a quantum level and promotes healing. Bioenergy is for everybody. It is a non-medical healing modality of balancing your body's energy system to promote rapid healing, simple, effective, painless, non-invasive, free of pharmaceuticals, client friendly for adults, children and animals. 
When the amount and quality of the energy flow in the body is diminished, our energy field becomes frozen in a specific signature. If you are under stress (physical, emotional, or environmental) your immune system will break at its weakest point. Cells become weak, misinformed, confused and do not function as they should. By bringing in the correct “information” that is contained in this pure, coherent all-knowing energy, the method, helps reactivate the immune system to operate at its best.

Benefits:-	Bioenergy Therapy balances the Biofield to restore health on all levels- energetic, emotional and physical. 
-	It is highly structured using precise protocols for specific conditions and straightforward in its approach.

Length of Treatment:One treatment consists of 4 consecutive days (15-30 minutes per day), depending on the protocol needed. Most people will enjoy benefits after one or two treatments.  Others may require additional treatments, depending on the severity of the particular health issues.
