Physiological Coherence

Meaning

Physiological Coherence is a state of optimal functional harmony within the body, characterized by the synchronization and efficient coordination of multiple key biological systems, particularly the cardiovascular, respiratory, and autonomic nervous systems. This state is clinically identifiable by a highly regular, sine-wave-like pattern in the heart rate variability (HRV) signal, indicating a balanced and flexible autonomic nervous system. Achieving coherence is associated with reduced systemic stress, improved emotional regulation, and a favorable shift in the hormonal profile, promoting overall resilience and vitality.
