Great tool for stress reduction.

Heart Rate variability (HRV) is a marker of biological aging.

Our heart rate variability is greatest when we are young, and as we age the range of variation in our resting heart rate becomes smaller.

Although the age-related decline in HRV is a natural process, having abnormally low HRV for one’s age group can be associated with an increased risk of future health problems.

Reducing stress and implementing the regular practice of HeartMath coherence-building techniques can help restore low HRV to a higher level.

When our kids are running barefoot from grass to concrete, to sand or dirt, they are flooding those receptors on the bottoms of their feet with information which can activate the brain. All of that sensory information can help develop spatial awareness and balance.
