Transforming Incoherence to Coherence to Immediately Change Your Life

Transforming Incoherence to Coherence

In today's world, filled with uncertainty and chaos, I'm advocating for more than just reacting to external turmoil. It's about fundamentally changing ourselves—optimising who we are by transforming how we think, feel, and act. This inner transformation allows us to overcome limitations and evolve from within. When our thoughts, emotions, and actions are driven by external factors, we lose the ability to truly optimise ourselves and, consequently, the situations we encounter.

Mastery of Response

Mastery of this is how quickly we can stop our reaction. We don’t want to live in a place of being a victim—blaming others, worrying, doubting, stressing, hating, being anxious, and fearful—any longer than we need to. We must be aware of these states and know they are feeding us information to guide and motivate us to change. They are directing us to do so. They are not to distort and drive our behaviour. This happens when we don’t know how to consciously change, or we are not aware of negative patterns we are frequently running.

Catch the Patterns

One way to do this is to meditate. Meditate means to become familiar. (This can be formal, a quiet session or informal by being aware of our state). We become conscious of thoughts, feelings and actions that are not serving us wisely. We need to catch ourselves running these patterns so we can address and overcome them.

Define Your Change

Think of something that you want to change. Write it down below:

Example: You find yourself being upset, there is a person that is the cause of this in your mind, even when they are physically out of sight you’re having feelings that really don’t make you feel good.

 I want to change…(write down or think clearly about what you want to change) 

Run the Pattern

This pattern runs through your mind, and you may realise that these emotions are not just limited to that person. Other people, situations, or circumstances can bring about the same limiting emotions that run in your body. You may also notice information to support these emotions comes to light and justifies this pattern to further validate it. Your thoughts, feelings and what you want to do are fuel to keep this limiting pattern running.

Understanding the Problem

When we are living by the emotions of stress, anxiety, fear, survival, hating, aggression, etc., our brain wave patterns are in beta wave. This produces incoherence. We are sub-optimal and make poor choices.*

Incoherence affects our¹:

• Ability to think clearly
• Memory
• Learning
• Reasoning
• Effective decision-making

Embracing Change

What is coherence?
Coherence is where the heart, mind, and emotions are working harmoniously.²

Insight into Coherence

Many people are not aware that the heart sends more signals to the brain than the brain sends to the heart!³ Let me repeat that: The heart sends more signals to the brain than the other way around. The heart plays a prime role in moving into, sustaining, and developing new baselines of coherence.

Benefits of Coherence

The team at HeartMath found that when we shift the rhythm of the heart to the brain, sustained positive emotions can lead us into a state of coherence⁴. When we do, there are many benefits:

• Promotes optimal health and performance
• Reinforces positive feelings
• Greater emotional stability
• Increases mental clarity
• Enables more effective decisions
• Creates a state of optimal function
• Enhances creativity

From Chaos to Coherence: The Journey to Harmony

The research team at HeartMath has documented a remarkable physiological transformation in an individual who consciously shifted their focus to the heart. This person moved from a state of incoherence and disharmony to one of synchronicity and coherence, showcasing the power of aligning heart and mind. For those interested, you can explore the details of this transformation and view the documented evidence through HeartMath’s resources

When we change so does our life. Let’s experience how we can do this.

Two Additional Practices.

Here are two additional practices.  You can use one or both as often as you like. In my experience, they truly become ‘Moreish.’ The more you use them and learn about how to elevate your state the more valuable they become.

 Additional Practice (1) Do heartfelt emotions. 

Pick 2 or 3 emotions such as appreciation, care, gratitude, happiness, kindness, joy, love, etc. Focus on one at a time.  Spend 15 minutes 3 times per day for the next three days enjoying these elevated emotions and positive change is yours.

 Additional Practice (2) Clearly defined heartfelt desire. 

Do the Optimisation Exercise above with your clearly defined heartfelt desire - your Prime Aspirations⁸.   Your experience will go off the scale .  Go here to learn how to define your heartfelt desires.

Do heartfelt emotions, those that you would feel having achieved, completed or accomplished your heartfelt desire, your Prime Aspiration. 

E.G. Love, appreciation, care, gratitude, kindness, fulfilment, joy, happiness, whatever it is for you. 😃

Do this for 15 minutes 3 times per day for the next three days and significant change is yours. Just experience one heartfelt emotion at a time and then move on to the next one.  You can go through the cycle as many times as you like.

Learned Experience: 

Once you feel like you can get into the different feelings in your heart, swap from one to another as frequently as you like.  It’s fun. It provides a real boost. 

Watch opportunities start to show up and use this as feedback that change is happening for you.

After each Optimisation Exercise, what is a little action you can take to improve your circumstances…take it.  

Be aware, that moving into elevated emotional states and shifting the rhythm of the heart sends different neural messages to the brain for free. 

 Here’s What’s Free 

In a state of coherence look at the free presents that you "Gift" yourself:

• Promotes optimal health and performance
• Reinforces positive feelings
• Greater emotional stability
• Increases mental clarity
• Enables more effective decisions
• Creates a state of optimal function
• Enhances creativity
