Imagine feeling calmer, clearer, and more in control - no matter what life throws at you. By adopting a simple breathwork practise every day, you can transform the way you respond to stress and bring more balance to your mind and body. Heart-coherence breathing is one such technique which uses simple paced breathing at the ideal rate to synchronise the heart, brain and nervous system. Practising this technique for me has had such a profound impact on my wellbeing that I felt called to create a guided audio that would easily guide me, my family and friends into that same state. And now I am delighted share it with you too! It’s called Harmony. Head over to the classroom and have a listen :) Top tips: You can use the track reactively – whenever you feel scattered, overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, or low in mood – or proactively, as a way to set yourself up for the day ahead. Heart-focused practices like this have been shown to keep cortisol levels lower throughout the day and to build long-term emotional resilience, especially when done regularly. FYI incase you’re interested: The science behind this work comes from the field of neurocardiology and decades of research from the HeartMath Institute, as well as studies by researchers such as Dr Rollin McCraty, Dr Deborah Rozman, and Dr J. Andrew Armour, who first mapped the “heart–brain” nervous system. Their research shows that the heart has its own intrinsic nervous system, sending far more information to the brain than the brain sends back. When our emotional state shifts into frustration, anxiety, or stress, the signals from the heart become erratic. This disrupts the areas of the brain responsible for planning, organising, decision-making, and staying on task. But when we consciously regulate our breath and generate renewing emotions – like calm, appreciation, or ease – the rhythms of the heart become smooth and ordered. This is called heart coherence. In coherence, the heart and brain start to work in harmony. Stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline reduce, while neural pathways that support focus, emotional regulation, connection, and resilience become more active. It’s a way of shifting your physiology in real time.
