HeartMath provides solutions to reducing stress using the research-based, validated tools and skills. HeartMath products support the learning and the practice and gauging the progress with these tools and skills. These include the Inner Balance app for android and apple smartphones, the emWave Pro for PC, Laptop and Pad/tablet. There is also the popular emWave2 a purpose designed pocket portable unit for those who want a dedicated device (not using their phone). Using the HeartMath products and learning the skills and tools may allow stress to be reduced and inner harmony and coherence can be achieved as a new base line in often quite quickly.

Relatively newly introduced is the Add Heart Facilitator package that includes an entry-level course by the same name, giving a starter licence to help others using HeartMath.

HeartMath’s tools and technology involve insightful and ingenious methods for integrating and enhancing physical, emotional and mental vitality. Through the HeartMath training, coaching, licensing programs and innovative technology we provide practical, scientifically validated methods that enable people to live more rewarding, healthy and productive lives personally and professionally.

We at Macquarie Institute deliver products across Australia and New Zealand HeartMath and also teach the HeartMath coach mentor certification and a variety of HeartMath skills and tools.

The HeartMath Inner Balance: Trainer is an innovative approach to improving wellness through training, education and self-monitoring. HeartMath 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 support a healthier, more consistently coherent mind and physiology. The HeartMath Inner Balance Trainer works with both IOS and Android smartphones. Internal state is detected via a simple pulse earpiece or finger sensor and heart rhythm data is fed into the app. Heart rhythm patterns are an excellent reflection of our inner state. We can use the Inner Balance to learn how to shift into a state of balance, self-reliance and renewing positive feelings, such as appreciation and compassion. Another way to say it is that the Inner Balance technology analyses and displays our heart rhythm, measured by Heart Rate Variability (HRV), which indicates how emotional states are affecting our nervous system. HRV is studied by leading medical researchers all around the globe but it has been further utilised and studied in depth at the HeartMath Institute. With years of achieving results directly their work now offers this technology giving a window into the quality of communication between the heart and brain, which directly impacts how we feel and perform.

The HeartMath Inner Balance technology: it trains us to self-generate a highly efficient physiological state called HRV coherence or heart coherence, which helps us increase emotional composure and clearer reasoning. Now used and promoted by leading health professionals around the world and in Australia, the HeartMath inner 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, relating to overwhelm, fatigue and exhaustion, sleep disruption, anxiety and burnout.

HeartMath as a pioneer in HRV research and self-regulation training for over 25 years have been published in more than 250 independent peer-reviewed studies describing HeartMath skills, tools, methodologies (and the technologies that support learning and practicing them).

The HeartMath emWave Pro Program: it is designed for Mac, pad, tablet and pc computer use. For anyone but also in a clinical setting due to the powerful multi-user management software. Its patented heart rhythm monitor will help you transform stress and anxiety into vibrant energy. The Emwave Pro is much more than a heart monitor, as this revolutionary technology guides you how to achieve higher, more creative energy levels, less stress and optimal health. EmWave technology is an innovative approach to improving wellness and facilitating personal growth based on learning to change your heart rhythm pattern to create a more together, smoother and coherent pattern; a scientifically measurable state characterized by increased order and harmony in our psychological, physiological mind-body processes.

The HeartMath emWave2 is a portable: it is dedicated pocket-sized unit and very convenient way to reduce stress, balance emotions and increase performance using the HeartMath concepts, tools and skills. Used just a few minutes a day, this simple-to-use technology helps you transforms feelings and trains your physiology to respond differently to stress, anger and anxiety. The EmWave2 is often selected over the Inner Balance trainer app (for smartphone) because it leaves your phone free and the EmWave2 device can be shared with others, something we are less inclined to do with our main smartphone.

Using a pulse sensor plugged into your HeartMath emWave2 or emWave Pro or your smartphone the HeartMath software collects pulse data and translates coherence information into light patterns and user-friendly graphics displayed on the display screen. HeartMath emWave2 or emWave Pro and Inner Balance App help you create a coherent state through the above-mentioned coherence techniques, as well as interesting and enjoyable interactive exercises and games. Using HeartMath technologies assists in developing inner resilience, increasing energy, and promoting focus, mental clarity and emotional balance.

Special HeartMath packages available: The emWave Pro Health Professional Packages are mainly used by therapists, coaches, counsellors and mentors for clients. The emWave Pro Health Professional Packages are very popular with health professionals of almost every discipline, modality and specialty. The technology is complemented by the available range of eBooks suitable for health professionals. We also have a variety of other combined sales packages. They can combine two of these: Inner Balance Trainer, emWave Pro and emWave2 to allow a range of applications to be purchased. There is also the Add Heart Facilitator package that combines the inner Balance and a short course in foundation HeartMath methods.

Shane’s Story..

Show/Hide

My experience with the HeartMath solution has been quite an interesting experience, to say the least.

Unbeknownst to me at the time, I began to experience depressive episode at the age of 12. Throughout my teenage years, these, episode gradually became longer in duration, and deeper in intensity.

Two months short of my 20th birthday, I had my first major breakdown which negatively affected my entire life. I went from being to myself that I was actually going insane. People around me noticed my behaviour was getting worse and worse but no one could do anything.

Throughout the rest of my 20’s and into my early 30’s, I was in a constant state of depression, the depth just varied. It made socialising extremely difficult, let alone meeting a partner. I had low energy, a terribly ruminating mind and could barely concentrate or focus on anything, disorganised, and generally apathetic about life. I regularly experienced suicidal thoughts.

I tried many treatments over the years, from all manner of professionals from counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists, and self-help gurus, and nothing, absolutely nothing worked. In my early 30’s. I underwent a professionally administered MMPI test (what was to the date the most comprehensive psychological test in the world), and discovered that my depression was actually far worse than i thought. I was in the top 4% of the sufferers in the world. I was also told by a medical doctor at that time that since i started to experience depression before the onset of puberty, it was likely that it was genetic, and i would be on medication for rest of my life.

Very up lifting news!

Then on the eve of my 32 birthday, in a last-ditch effort to resolve the problem before suicide, i found out about the HeartMath solution. Dwelling on apathy, I didn’t really know if it would work, yet, begrudgingly, I went ahead to see if it would work anyway. I worked in a truck, and decided to do the heart meditations in the truck as i was driving around. It was the only time I sat down and put it to practice.

Then on the third day something strange happened….

….As I was driving along in the truck meditating on my heart, a sudden, sharp ripping sensation and sound occurred in centre of my chest just above the heart behind the sternum. When this happened I felt an overwhelming sense of peace and calmness and clarity reveal right through my body. It was not by any means a figment of my imagination. Experiencing this, I knew I was onto something real.

As the weeks progressed I stabilised more and more. I was amazed that the solution was so simple, so straightforward, and so cost-efficient. No drug, no experts, just self-directed actions which I could practice anywhere and anytime. 

Overall those years, with all the money, and all that time wasted on experts and chemicals, and the solution to all my issues was within me the entire time.

I used to experience chronic pain is around the heart itself, and in the intestines, yet this all disappeared after embarking on the HeatMath solution. The inner balance device help me greatly in really developing high heart coherence. I have been completely free of depression now for five years with no relapses. I have recommended the product to friends who, like me, at first didn’t believe its effective but then tried it and got great results.
