Expanding Heart Connections.

The Inner Balance technology analyzes and displays our heart rhythm, measured by Heart Rate Variability (HRV), which indicates how emotional states are affecting our nervous system. HRV offers a unique window into the quality of communication between the heart and brain, which directly impacts how we feel and perform.

The Inner Balance technology trains us to self-generate a highly efficient physiological state called HRV coherence, which helps us increase emotional composure and clearer reasoning. Recommended by health professionals worldwide, HRV coherence training has been associated with many health and performance benefits. A few minutes of daily coherence practice has been shown to reduce and prevent the negative effects of stress, such as overwhelm, fatigue and exhaustion, sleep disruption, anxiety and burnout.

HeartMath has been a pioneer in HRV research and self-regulation training for over 25 years. Over 250 independent peer-reviewed studies have been published on HeartMath technologies and methodologies.

Practicing with the Inner Balance trainer makes learning to connect with your heart's intuitive intelligence more fun, motivating and rewarding. With a little daily practice, you’ll experience more ease, flow and a deepening and sustaining of your heart connections with others and your authentic self. Using Inner Balance for 5 to 10 minutes a day can bring more ease and mental and emotional composure into your life. You'll soon discover that your attitudes, feelings and perspectives are more positive and resilient.

The HeartMath Inner Balance™ Sensor Bluetooth for Android and iphone is an innovative approach to improving wellness through training, education and self-monitoring. Inner Balance shows you your heart rhythm pattern (HRV) and a breathing pacer to go along with your heart rhythms, training you how to change your heart rhythm pattern to a healthier, coherent state.

Use it on your iPhone and Android

The new Inner Balance App and Sensor is an innovative and fun way to improve performance and well-being through real time, precision feedback and training. Inner Balance shows your heart-rhythm pattern (HRV), as a breathing pacer with built-in coach guides you into a more aligned inner state. The Inner Balance App works exclusively with the, one-of-a-kind, HeartMath Bluetooth Sensor that attaches to your iPhone, Android, and your earlobe. The Bluetooth Sensor feeds your heart rhythms into the app. No technology on the market today tracks at the high level of the HeartMath Bluetooth Sensor.

The Coherence Breakthrough

Inner Balance is based on "the coherence breakthrough". Coherence is a state of synchronization between your heart, brain and autonomic nervous system that has been proven to have numerous mental, emotional and physical benefits. You can think of coherence as a simultaneous state of relaxation, readiness and revitalization. Some refer to this as a balanced state of composure or poise. Coherence improves performance, health and emotional well-being.

Inner Balance provides:

• A highly specialized technique to shift out of stress and into a more desirable emotional state
• Goals to follow to help reach new levels of inner balance
• History of all sessions
• Progress tracked over time
• A journal to track feelings or experiences that may have contributed to different session outcomes
• Rewards for achieving longer periods in medium and high coherence and balance

Typical Benefits People Notice With 2 Weeks of Genuine Practice:

• More ease and inner peace
• Better sleep
• Less friction in relationships
• Less worry
• More alertness
• Better focus and decision making
• More positive attitudes
• Increased composure and calm

How it works

Once you have downloaded the Inner Balance App, just connect the Sensor and you are ready to begin. Inner Balance incorporates an advanced heart-rate monitor, that measures even subtle changes in your heart rhythms. This type of measurement is known as heart-rate variability analysis, or HRV. HRV analysis is a noninvasive measurement that reflects heart-brain interaction and autonomic nervous system dynamics, which are particularly sensitive to changes in your emotional state.

Heart Rhythms and Coherence

When you experience stressful emotions such as frustration, anxiety, irritation and anger, your heart-rhythm pattern becomes irregular and incoherent, negatively affecting your health, brain function, performance and sense of well-being. When you experience positive emotions such as appreciation, dignity, joy and love, your heart-rhythm pattern is more ordered and coherent.

Ordered and balanced heart rhythms are an indicator of your “coherence level.” High coherence is a state associated with positive emotional attitudes, which send signals to the brain that reduce reactions to stress and improve cognitive function, hormonal balance, immune response, coordination and reaction times, and your overall sense of well-being.
