Cardiac coherence
All the emotions we feel are manifested in the beating of our heart. Nowadays it is called Cardiac Pulse Variability (CPV) to the reflex of the emotions in the cardiac pulse. Through this measure, modern technology can measure and analyze the nervous system, such that a high VPC is an indicator of an emotionally balanced individual. An increase in variations, as well as problems with their regularity, are good warnings of the level of stress that a person is going through. Thanks to the powerful tools available to us to analyze VPC, along with appropriate exercises, you can learn to regulate emotions, lower the level of stress and balance the heartbeat.
