- Why should Heart Brain Coherence part of your daily routine
Our daily lives are dictated by emotions and stressful situations reduce our coherence. The speed of life increases all the time and becomes faster. Many people now feel intuitively to change themselves and world. Depending on your state of coherence – it can affect you severely or not. Most people use techniques like – listen to music, use alcohol and socialize to relax and to cut of the daily havoc. These are only these are short term solutions. Negative emotions release stress hormones like cortisol and adrenalin and positive heart emotions will release DHEA and Oxytocin. Heart Brain Coherence can change your life and life on earth for all those around you.
- The four domains for resilience
Physical resilience pertains to physical flexibility, endurance and strength
- Mental resilience pertains to mental flexibility, attention span, focussing and incorporation of multiple points of view
- Emotional resilience pertains to emotional flexibility, positive outlook on life and self-regulation
- Spiritual resilience pertains to spiritual flexibility, commitment to values, tolerance of others` values and beliefs, meditation and religious activity
Flexibility is key and balance in all four domains maximise resilience. Most of us waste a lot of energy in the emotional domain. Feelings like frustration, anger, resentment and anxiety burn a lot of your energy. Stress hormones like cortisol can stay in your blood for 13 hours and the good hormones like DHEA only stays in your blood for 6 hours. You must put in double the work for the stress hormones vs the good hormones.
