HeartMath Institute empowers individuals, families, groups and organizations to enhance their life experiences using tools that enable them to better recognize and access their intuitive insight and heart intelligence.
For Individuals
Books and online training programs help anyone learn to align their hearts and brains to live happier, more peaceful lives.
For All
From daily exercises to large-scale citizen-scientist projects, our work helps build the bridges we need to live in a more interconnected world.
For Research
Initiatives like the Global Consciousness Project 2.0 and Tree Research Project help research teams and citizen scientists understand interconnectivity.
Heart Intelligence + Brain Intelligence = HeartMath
While your brain stores an amazing type of intelligence, your heart acts as a bridge to a higher intelligence that guides you in making better decisions, deepening your relationships, and living a more meaningful life.
Leading Research
The HeartMath Institute researches heart-brain communication and develops effective strategies for your well-being.
Accessible Tools
We use our research to develop effective and accessible methods, skills, and activities for personal, social, and global coherence.
Certification Programs
Share these resources with others so more people can live in coherence and co-create an increasingly evolved and peaceful world.
Connecting the world through the heart.
Our mission is to co-create a kinder, more compassionate world by conducting interconnectivity research and providing heart-based, science-backed tools for raising humanity’s baseline consciousness from discord to interconnection.
The root of our society’s biggest problems is disconnection
Research shows that stronger social connection leads to significantly improved health outcomes. And it begins with being connected to ourselves.
Disconnection to Ourselves
When we fail to listen to our heart’s intelligence, we lose the deep connection to ourselves. We experience stress, worry, and unfulfillment.
Disconnection to Others
When we aren’t connected to ourselves, we cannot truly connect to others. We miss out on developing meaningful relationships with our communities.
Disconnection to Our Global Consciousness
When we are disconnected as a community, we lose touch with nature and the world at large. We fail to reach our true potential as the human race.
Every one of us deserves to deeply connect with our own heart’s intelligence. It is only through this connection – this coherence – that we can create a better life for ourselves, our community, and our world.
The solution to our struggle is simple: align the heart & mind
When the mind drives our choices and behaviors alone – without the guidance of higher heart intelligence – we live disconnected from ourselves and others. But when we merge the two through HeartMath, we achieve Heart Coherence.
- Coherence replaces reactivity with intentional self-regulation.
- Coherence increases personal peace, satisfaction, and security.
- Coherence is the catalyst for meaningful relationships.
- Coherence opens the door for new solutions to arise .
- Coherence raises humanity’s consciousness on a global scale.
- Coherence creates more peace and less suffering for all.
