Did you know that your heart actually has a brain?
Recent research has shown that your heart pumps your blood, but also has 40,000 neurons, as well as a capacity for intelligence and deepened intuition. Learn about "heart intelligence" and "heart coherence" and how they can benefit you.

These research-backed methods lower anxiety, reduce stress, and improve overall health and happiness. Learn how to calm your nervous system, reduce cortisol levels and increase coherence between your heart and brain.

What you will gain from this program:
• You will learn breath techniques to calm, energize and clear the mind and body
• Experience a variety of mindfulness practices to fit easily into your daily life
• Tap acupressure points to reduce negative feelings and emotional state
