HeartMath Breathing Exercises
Build heart–brain coherence with simple, science-informed breathing techniques that calm the nervous system and sharpen clarity.
Shift into coherence in minutes
HeartMath practices pair focused breathing with positive emotion to stabilize heart rhythm patterns, reduce stress, and improve focus — on demand.
What is HeartMath Breathing?
A guided method that blends slow, paced breathing with intentional feelings (like appreciation) to create heart-brain coherence. This balanced physiological state helps you self-regulate stress responses and think more clearly.
How it works
Gentle inhales and exhales (about 4–6 breaths per minute) combined with a positive focus smooth heart rate variability (HRV) patterns, signaling safety to the nervous system.
Heart-Focused Breathing
Breathe a little slower and deeper than usual while placing attention in the area of the heart, helping the body settle into calm.
Positive Emotion Shift
Activate a renewing feeling (gratitude, care, appreciation) to stabilize HRV and support mental clarity and emotional balance.
