Global Coherence Initiative on Emotional Intelligence Summit

Vice President of HeartMath Howard Martin will be a keynote speaker on the Emotional Intelligence Summit

During his seminar, Howard will share the mission and vision of HeartMath and how they are convinced it is possible to create a more heart-based world, both on a personal and corporate level. He will share how by bringing our heart into 'coherence' we may be able to bring massive positive change to the earth, perhaps safeguarding the future of the planet.

He will also share how a new sensor will shortly be placed in New Zealand to measure the effects of emotions on this country

What is the Global Coherence Initiative?

The Global Coherence Initiative is a science-based, co-creative project to unite people in heart-focused care and intention, to facilitate the shift in global consciousness from instability and discord to balance, cooperation and enduring peace.

This project has been launched by the Institute of HeartMath®, a nonprofit 501(c)(3), a recognized global leader in researching emotional physiology, heart-brain interactions and the physiology of optimal health and performance.

The Global Coherence Initiative is designed to help individuals and groups work together, synchronistically and strategically to increase the impact of their efforts to create positive global change.

The goals of this project is to:

Increase personal coherence for the benefit of ourselves and the planet
Help shift the planetary consciousness baseline from self-centeredness to wholeness care
Increase connection and social harmony
Empower our ability to navigate through global changes with less stress and more ease
Empower environmental responsibility and stewardship of the planet

Earth Monitoring

The Global Coherence Initiative will include an important scientific measurement component. Advanced sensing technology, now being developed at the Institute of HeartMath, will allow us to observe changes in the earth’s magnetic field and test the hypothesis that the earth’s field is affected by mass human emotion, positive or negative. The Global Coherence Monitoring System (GCMS) will consist of approximately 12 sensors strategically located around the world. This system will enable a new level of scientific inquiry into the relationship between the earth’s magnetic field, collective human emotions and behaviors, and planetary changes.

The GCMS will allow us to test the hypotheses that:

Strong collective human emotions are reflected in the earth’s field.
Groups of people in heart coherence can affect the earth’s field.
Changes in the earth’s field predict earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and similar planetary scale events, in order to give people advance warning.

The long-term goal is to correlate the following: coherence-level data collected from the GCI community with changes in the earth’s magnetic field, along with changes in various social, environmental and health outcomes.

According to HeartMath:

"This project has been initiated because millions of people sense that this is an extraordinary time; that a paradigm shift of human consciousness is now under way; that we are at the crossroads of change and must move toward the healing of ourselves and our planet. Many people are feeling a strong desire to help change our present and future conditions and are looking for ways to use their heart, spirit-aligned wisdom and care to make a meaningful difference.

The Global Coherence Initiative is one of many care and compassion initiatives taking place on the planet. Each year, an increasing number of groups and online communities are radiating compassion and care to the planet in these times of need. We and others feel that these collective heart-based initiatives, rather than being a trend, represent the proactive consciousness platform of the future, in which individuals and communities take responsibility for shaping a new world by increasing love, care and compassion for the global whole".

What is Heart Coherence and why does it matter?

Many people recognize that their meditations, prayers, affirmations and intentions can and do affect the world. Researchers suggest that these activities can have even more transformative and lasting impact by adding heart coherence to the process.

Heart coherence is a distinct mode of synchronized psycho-physical functioning associated with sustained positive emotion. It is a state of energetic alignment and cooperation between heart, mind, body and spirit. In coherence, energy is accumulated, not wasted, leaving you more energy to manifest intention and harmonious outcomes.

Adding heart coherence to meditation, prayer and intention practices is an important aspect of the Global Coherence Initiative. It adds order and increased effectiveness to whatever form of practice you are doing.

The Global Coherence Initiative offers education and technology on how to increase individual heart coherence. As groups of people in the Global Coherence community intentionally send coherent love and care to the world, a more powerful heart-filled environment is created. This helps to build a reservoir of positive energy that benefits the planet. This reservoir can then be utilized to help bring balance and stabilization to people, thereby making it easier to find solutions to problems like climate change, the destruction of the rain forests, poverty, war, hunger and other global issues. In addition, by sending coherent heart energy to the planet, you benefit personally. Practicing coherence has a carryover effect that helps to cushion you through stressors and challenges that occur day to day.

How is the environment affected by human stress?

According to HeartMath “stressful events all over the world are repeatedly broadcast globally via television and the internet, creating and amplifying stress waves. When our nervous systems detect these stress waves, it can create a background feeling of unease. When we don’t know how to manage the unease, our mental, emotional and physical systems can become overloaded and drained. Unresolved stress accumulates and depletes people’s systems and creates incoherence in people’s personal lives, workplaces, families, and in society... this system will enable a new level of scientific inquiry into the relationship between the earth’s magnetic field, collective human emotions and behaviours and planetary changes”.

Can we predict natural disasters?

Another goal of the GCMS is to test the potential of sensors to predict earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and similar planetary scale events. HeartMath and Dr. Rauscher will together design, build and maintain the Global Coherence Monitoring System to track the earth’s field, which is postulated to be much more sensitive to the effects of collective emotion-based human energetics than other types of detectors designed to detect the interactions of collective human emotionality on a global scale.

Since the early 1980s, Dr. Rauscher, who consults regularly for NASA and the US Navy, has researched with her late husband, Dr. William Van Bise, an electrical engineer, geomagnetic fields and the pulsations and resonances associated with excitations occurring in the earth and ionosphere.

Their research led to some significant finding: they discovered that two or three weeks prior to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, the earth’s magnetic field changes, suggesting that a multi-station monitoring system could predict earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. They predicted the 1980 massive eruption of Mount St. Helens two weeks prior to the event, and during the year and a half after the event they predicted 84 percent of the seismic activity within a 100-square-mile area around a single detector.

Network of global sensors could predict earthquakes

The scope of the GCMS includes the establishment of a worldwide network of sensing stations for determining to what extent the earth’s magnetic field is affected by and can predict earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other planetary energetic events. The monitoring system will also examine the energetic resonance between the earth’s magnetic field and the rhythms of the human heart and brain. It will explore whether the magnetic field is influenced by collective human emotional resonance resulting from major events and whether the emotional energy generated by collective intuition about major future events is measurable in this field.

Interestingly, of all the bodily systems studied thus far, changes in geomagnetic conditions most strongly affect heart rhythms. Dr. Rauscher also has found evidence that in some cases people’s brain waves appear to synchronize with the rhythm of the electromagnetic waves generated in the earth’s ionosphere. It could be that when people “feel” an impending earthquake or other planetary events such as weather change, they may be reacting partly to physical signals in the earth’s field before these events.

In HeartMath’s words “The scientific community is only beginning to appreciate how energy fields generated by human, animal and plant systems interact with one another. We know the earth and the ionosphere generate a symphony of frequencies ranging from 0.01 to 300 hertz. Significantly, some of the largest of these resonances are in the same frequency range as those of the human heart and brain. Researchers have barely scratched the surface of what can be done once the GCMS is completed, but a number of important findings related to humans and the magnetic fields already have emerged”.
