From the Coherence Newsletter, written by guest contributor Ellen Ratner, White House Correspondent and Bureau Chief for The Talk Radio News Service, author, and Fox News contributor. In March 2008, I along with other talk show hosts, was invited by Christian Solidarity International to visit Sudan on a humanitarian mission. Being very impressed with their […]
It has been known for thousands of years that breathing is key to health, performance, and longevity. We are just beginning to understand why − breathing has much to do with “circulation,” both quantity and quality. Typically, when we are at rest, blood in the body circulates once each minute; when we are exercising this […]
I am excited to share with you an important biometric that we are able to observe with Valsalva Wave Pro, the new Coherence instrument.

I would like to introduce readers to several meditative techniques called Integrative Body-Mind Training (IBMT), nature exposure, and mindfulness, as well as discuss their use in attention state training. My review of current research with these intriguing alternative therapies finds that they may also be quick and effective treatments for anxiety, depression, and anger.
I dislike posts that serve only as blatant advertisements as much as anyone, but I thought our readers would appreciate a link to get $50.00 off an EmWave PC HRV biofeedback system. No apparent expiration date is given so order sooner rather than later because it can be pulled at any time.
