How can we maximize coherence in our emotions? Neurons and neurotransmitters are not only in our brains, we have countless in our gut and in our heart! Faced with a given expectation, it first reaches the neurological networks of the intestinal track as a 'tingling in the stomach' or as a ‘knot’ in intestinal tension generating a visceral reaction, and then is valued in the heart or third brain. To end up in the cranial brain becoming conscious. Coherence arises when two or more body rhythmic systems synchronize and operate at the same frequency. This may include our breathing rhythms, heart rhythms and rhythmic activity between brain and heart. High degrees of coherence have been associated with an increase in emotional balance, stability, intuition, optimal mental functioning, better memory, increased focus and a decrease in blood pressure levels.
