Coherence Quotes and Proverbs

Doc Childre and Bruce Cryer, From Chaos to Coherence
Intelligence capacity is diminished when frustration, anxiety or inner turmoil operate. Such emotional states cause incoherence in the rhythmic and electrical output of the heart, diminishing neurological efficiency. It's one of the reasons smart people can do stupid things. When you make internal coherence a daily priority, you save time and energy. Internal coherence "oils" your system. Without oil in an engine, it burns up. So can you.

Doc Childre and Howard Martin, The HeartMath Solution
While there's more incoherence than coherence being transmitted in the mass consciousness at this time, we see considerable evidence of the coherence momentum. More and more people are talking to each other about heart, following their heart, and trying to increase their appreciation, compassion, and personal balance.

Many people are experiencing a change in their priorities and values. They've had enough of living a life of ambition and basic survival. An increasing interest in spirituality and religious practices of all kinds illustrates that people are looking for something more . They're seeking, going within themselves the best they know how, looking for meaning and purpose in their lives. All of these examples represent a longing for more heart and for a connection with spirit.

Doc Childre and Howard Martin, The HeartMath Solution
It's not as hard as it used to be to shift to heart coherence. In fact, never before has coherence been so readily accessible, because more and more people are turning to the heart. As a result, our ability to move beyond limitations and experience fulfillment has increased significantly. As we practice following the heart, we'll develop the capabilities and insights we need to address personal and social issues.

There's much insight to be gained during these times by aligning heart and mind. As we achieve alignment, the experience of new awareness will become tangible and alive. Now is the time to take that promise to heart. But having insights is different than acting on them. We must follow the heart and shape a better world for ourselves and the collective whole.

William A. Tiller, "Science and Human Transformation: Subtle Energies, Intentionality and Consciousness"
The shift from incoherence to coherence can bring dramatic effects: a 60-watt light bulb whose light waves could be made coherent as a laser, would have the power to bore a hole through the sun—from 90 million miles away.
