The 6 Bridges are the 6 anatomical areas via which we have conscious access to the autonomic (subconscious) nervous system. They are the eyes, mouth, hands, pelvic floor, feet, and breathing. The bridges serve as both thermometer and thermostat and are extremely instrumental in guiding autonomic status. This recording is expressly designed to unwind or relax each bridge, facilitating parasympathetic prominence.  

7. Six Bridges - Evolution (MP3) . The same as "6 Bridges" above except that this recording fades away to nothing and back again. As one enters the meditative or "theta" state, sensitivity to audio stimuli increases dramatically. For this reason, it is desirable that audio volume be reduced accordingly. I consider 6 Bridges to be my best (and therapeutically most potent) pacemaker recording to date. The "fade away" also makes it a powerful tool for meditative practice. (48:48), ~47MB.

8. The Six Bridges (MP3) . The "6 Bridges" are the 6 anatomical areas via which we have conscious access to the autonomic (subconscious) nervous system. They may be generalized as the face, tongue & throat, hands, pelvic floor, feet, and "breathing" - the diaphragm & intercostals .

Rainy Day...  

9. Rainy Day.....(The Eagle Will Rise Again (MP3) The sound of gentle rain has a primordial effect on the human psyche, literally eliciting a parasympathetic response.

Horizontal Pratyahara by Coherence  
10. Horizontal Pratyahara: This first recording of its type is optimized for breathing meditation while lying on your back in a horizontal position. Because the autonomic nervous system optimizes the frequency of resonance based on body inclination, a slightly slower rhythm is optimal when horizontal. It also incorporates a binaural beat at 6.5 Hz. (upper theta band) against a soothing water background. File Size: ~25MB.

emWavePC + Coherent Breathing - Free                          Price: $295.00

Purchase Heartmath emWavePC and receive Coherent Breathing - The Definitive Method and COHERENCE Clock, a $60.00 value, FREE!

Now you can complement your practice of Coherent Breathing with emWavePC, Heartmath's leading Interactive Learning System with patented heart rhythm monitor. emWavePC allows you to view and monitor your heart rate variability (HRV) rhythm amplitude, and coherence in real-time, thereby enhancing and accelerating the learning process. (emWavePC is a PC application. (See system requirements.)

 

Therapists and clinicians: emWavePC is a tool for both client and clinician. emWavePC offers your clients a user friendly means of establishing the vital connection between the heart rate variabilty rhythm and breathing, facilitating the state of autonomic balance.

It offers you a simple and effective means of assessing autonomic status and progress, both within session, and session to session.

We believe that all treatment modalities are more effective and efficient when in the state of autonomic balance.

This is simply because when in the state of balance, the body/mind knows how to heal itself. Therapeutic intervention aids the process.

 
About Coherent Breathing
 

The average adult breathes at 15 breaths per minute or 1 cycle every 4 seconds. COHERENCE(TM) asserts that this relatively rapid breathing frequency, while at rest, results in autonomic nervous system imbalance, specifically “over-activation” of the sympathetic (fight or flight) branch and “under-activation” of the parasympathetic (calm and relaxation) branch. There is an emerging understanding in the medical community that "sympathetic dominance" underlies many modern day maladies including anxiety and hypertension. Click here for a comprehensive discussion of the The Science behind the products.

The Breathing Pacemaker(TM) is a simple audio device that presents you with an ~12 second interval to which you consciously synchronize your breathing. The basic 12 second interval is divided into two 6 second sub-intervals for the purpose of synchronizing both inhalation and exhalation. This is explained further in the detailed instructions provided with the purchase of each product.

Different audio recordings employ various instruments and sounds to indicate when to change from inhalation to exhalation, or visa versa. Sound is also utilized to indicate the progression of the breathing interval so you have a clear understanding of how the interval is progressing in time. This is important because we are interested in breathing at a rate that is as close as possible to the optimal frequency, this being 1 complete cycle in 11.76 seconds.

Certain pacemaker products also clearly distinguish between inhalation and exhalation phases such that 2 or more people can synchronize their breathing rhythms to the same pacemaker reference. When used in this fashion, the Fundamental Quiescent Rhythms of 2 or more people literally synchronize with each other. Because the Fundamental Quiescent Rhythm is a basic human electrical rhythm, this results in the synchronizing of electromagnetic fields. A physical analogy of this is 2 or more strings vibrating at exactly the same frequency and phase.

Psychoacoustic characteristics of the sounds (other than rhythm), are not important to pacemaker functioning.

Initial products are offered in digital audio compact disk (CD), MP3, and Flash format. Except where noted, all recordings start and end such that they can be looped with minimal break in audio.

Detailed instructions are provided with the purchase of each product.
