Heart–Brain Coherence: The Missing Link to Powerful Healing
Last week, we explored the idea that the heart leads the healing—not the mind. This week, I want to go one step deeper and share a tool I sometimes use in my sessions: heart–brain coherence. It’s a simple but powerful way to get the heart and mind “on the same page” so that every part of you can function at its highest level.
What is Heart–Brain Coherence?
Heart–brain coherence is a state where your heart and brain work in sync, communicating smoothly and sending the same message throughout your body. When your heart and brain are in sync, you feel calmer, more focused, and more connected to your intuition.
Research from the HeartMath Institute and the work of Dr. Bradley Nelson has shown that your heart sends more information to your brain than your brain sends to your heart. This means that your heart is the leader, but it’s most effective when your brain is listening and aligned. The heart has 100 times greater magnetic field than the brain and 60 times greater electric field than the brain. Every cell in the body relies on and is influenced by the heart’s electromagnetic energy.
When the heart and brain are connected, synchronized and integrated, it is like a well-trained dance couple: the heart leads, the brain follows, and together they move in perfect rhythm.
Why It Matters in Healing
When the heart and brain are out of sync, it can feel like part of you is pulling one way while the other part resists. This creates mental fog, emotional stress, and even physical tension in the body.
But when they’re connected and coherent, your body’s natural healing systems can work at full capacity. You can:
Access more mental clarity and emotional resilience
Feel grounded and open to new possibilities
Reduce stress so your body can shift into repair mode
Receive more accurate guidance from your subconscious mind
How I Use It in Sessions
Before diving into our energy session, I may guide you through a brief process to connect your heart and brain. This could involve focusing your attention on your heart area, breathing in a slow, steady rhythm, and recalling a moment of gratitude or appreciation. I make sure each of the body’s systems are connected and synchronized with the heart, reset all 7 chakras, and synchronize the heart with the Earth’s rhythm.
Going through this process is like hitting a reset button on your nervous system. Once coherence is established, it’s as though a clear, strong signal is sent to every cell in your body: We are safe. We are ready. Let’s heal.
A Simple Exercise You Can Try Right Now
If you want to experience a taste of what heart–brain coherence feels like, here’s a quick practice you can do anywhere:
Focus on Your Heart
Bring your attention to the center of your chest. Place your hand there if you like.Breathe Slowly
Inhale for about 5 seconds… exhale for about 5 seconds. Imagine your breath flowing in and out of your heart.Feel Appreciation
Think of someone or something you’re grateful for—let yourself feel that gratitude in your heart.Ground Yourself
Imagine a white light shining down through the top of your head and going all the way out your feet, rooting you into the ground.
Stay with this for a minute or two, and notice how your mind and body begin to shift. This is the power of heart–brain coherence—and it’s just the beginning of what’s possible when we work together in a session.
