When there's lack of coherence it means that there's stress and that the body simply doesn't have the tools to deal with that stress. But what happens when we can come back into coherence? The body shifts. Another incredible company is heartmath. The heartmath community, gosh, is understanding the concept of the resilience of the heart and heart coherence. So an amazing heart coherence practice to also deliver the same state is to really just start to tune into gratitude. If I were to ask you to think of something or someone that you love so much right now, make it feel real. Imagine hugging them. Imagine waking up with them first thing in the morning traveling with them. How good does it feel to be in their presence? If you're a parent thinking about being with your child all of a sudden, the problems from your 9 to 5, if you're present with your child in that moment because of the love and gratitude that you feel, everything just dissipates.
