"The
patterns and rhythms in the EKG as well as EEG, when they
are coherent, reflect the innermost harmonic principles of
life in a measurable way. The subtle but powerful energies
contained herein form a dynamic and ever evolving equilibrium
between vitality and individual
focus. This reciprocal
balance is our unique formulation of wellness".
Life-force
universally flows where attention is focussed, and vice versa.
But either of the two is unstable all by itself. Wellness
is created when emotion and action are coherent
and harmonically inclusive. This will
tune them from blindly flowing energy, into mutually stabilizing,
uplifting and empowering:
- Emotional
coherence creates vitality, expansion, resourcefullness,
empowerment
- Coherent
action and perception creates awareness-focus, empathy (brain
ánd heart-intelligence!), belonging, confidence,
clear decision making.
The
HeartTuner measures and visualises Heart Rate Variability
(HRV tacho, spectrum and pie-chart histogram) and Internal
Cardiac Coherence (ICC) simultaneously. HRV is the heart's
indicator for vitality and longevity, whereas ICC (awareness-focus)
is measured by the HeartTuner's proprietary cepstrum algorithm.

The HeartTuner PRO-04 series offers state of the art
measurement of Internal Cardiac Coherence (ICC), Heart Rate
Variablity (HRV tachogram, spectrum and histogram), cross-hemispheric
brain coherence, various biofeedback options incl. games,
as well as professional data storage, replay and printout
options for client data and research.
The HeartTuner is used worldwide by therapists, medical practitioners,
healers and coaches for training, biofeedback, during healing
sessions and as a reliable guide and reference (sometimes
as a "lie-detector") during existing practice. Read
some testimonials
here.
Internal coherence measurement, especially in combination
with (traditional) HRV gives powerful and direct insight in
the emotional and vital patterns underlying health and wellness.
Based upon an ever growing insight in the inner "physics
of life" and many years practical experience, the HeartTuner
evolves therapeutic, coaching and biofeedback practice from
an emperical, into a scientific standard.

Reasons to use the HeartTuner in therapy and biofeedback
|
Wellness
is the optimal adjustment of life
force (vitality, felt as bliss), and
awareness-focus ("self-awareness"),
together traditionally called "Consciousness".
Both are measurable and entrainable
with the HeartTuner as resp. optimised
HRV Spectrum and Internal
Cardiac Coherence ("ICC")
simultaneously, offering todays most
advanced scientific description and
assessment of what wellness is
The
optimization of Internal Cardiac
Coherence (ICC) and HRV
Spectrum is also called
Harmonic Inclusiveness,
and reflects our most contemporary understanding
of how life force and self-awareness
function inside, and relate to our physical
body. Internal
Cardiac Coherence resp. Harmonic Inclusiveness
should not be confused with regular
breathing training measured through
the autonomic response
The
newest insights of harmonic inclusiveness
have resulted in an advanced and yet
very transparent method of Heart-Brain
Coherence training
The
principle of the HeartTuner honours
ancient as well as contemporary traditions
of physical, psychic and spiritual health,
but only the HeartTuner makes it measurable,
based upon a sound scientific basis
Compared
to the direct measurement of Internal
Cardiac Coherence plus HRV-Spectrum
(harmonic analysis), other methods are
either (bio-) mechanical, subjective,
indirect, or simply inadequate. The
HeartTuner gives an uncompromising instantaneous
biofeedback reward for
emotional coherence, awareness focus
and bliss process
The
HeartTuner is successfully adapted for
therapeutic use and self-empowering
bio-emotional health entrainment
Especially for those not yet accustomed
to really "be in their Heart", coming
in touch with, and playing with their
emotions, and balancing head and
heart, the HeartTuner is like
taking an X-ray of your inner-I-feeling,
and offers a flawless "lie-detection"
for those who tend to cheat their therapist,
their spouses or themselves
Other
therapeutic fields closely related to
what the HeartTuner measures are e.g.
kinesiology and sacro-craneology.
The HeartTuner proves a valuable guide
and indicator to quicken and deepen
our insight of how succesfull a treatment
is
Besides
the Power Spectrum and Internal Cardiac
Coherence ("Cepstrum") displays,
the HeartTuner ofers HRV and ICC-history
and HRV-spectrum and -histogram,
all in one package
The HeartTuner has two channels
and can thus be a great indicator, or
"lie-detector" during consensus
process between two people,
already before being married or having
signed an employment contract
Further
functions include a module for EEG
- cross-hemispheric neuro feedback
and various bio feedback games
The
HeartTuner is often used for feedback
and reference during existing training
or therapy. Besides for therapeutic
use and self-empowerment, The HeartTuner
was frequently choosen as an extremely
affordable tool e.g. for dream, pineal,
or consciousness research
Working
with the HeartTuner means: working with
a deep scientific understanding of the
true nature of Health,
Wellness,
and
Bliss

Excerpt from our testimonial page:
"The HeartTuner is a computerized biofeedback
program which shows the music of the heart and opens the door
to heart coherence. Heart Coherence holds the secret to mental
clarity, physical health and heart-oriented relationships.
When coherent, the biological heart, harmonizes the autonomic
nervous system to create peace within. Simply observing your
own heart harmonics expands consciousness. It is fascinating
to observe the response of the heart to important questions.
In counseling we use the HeartTuner to identify issues that
are calling for greater clarity and to confirm when that issue
is resolved"... read more here

Clearly,
"consciousness" subtly controls this world by
rewarding that which makes existence sustainable, rather
than by any mechanical interference. This is what
healers, shamans, homeopathists, yogiis and intuitional
researchers have known
for ages. The time is now to come to make it scientific
beyond the personal,
emperical procedure.

Backgrounds
on Heart Rate Variability
American
Heart Association
(original link no longer available)
The
last two decades have witnessed the recognition of a significant
relationship between the autonomic nervous system and cardiovascular
mortality, including sudden cardiac death. Experimental
evidence for an association between propensity for lethal
arrhythmias and signs of either increased sympathetic or
reduced vagal activity has spurred efforts for the development
of quantitative markers of autonomic activity. HRV represents
one of the most promising such markers. The apparently easy
derivation of this measure has popularized its use. As many
commercial devices now provide an automated measurement
of HRV, the cardiologist has been provided with a seemingly
simple tool for both research and clinical studies. However,
the significance and meaning of the many different measures
of HRV are more complex than generally appreciated, and
there is a potential for incorrect conclusions and for excessive
or unfounded extrapolations.

Life
and Wellness - A dynamic equilibrium of life-force and
self-awareness. The innermost working principle of
biology and of all life is truly "infinite"
in the sense that it operates outside the arena of normal
actions and reactions. When we have a bliss- or telepatic
experience, this does not mean an expanded connection
with "outside" world, but instead a withdrawal
from our externally oriented action-and-reaction patterns,
resulting in a deeper connection with the inner, cause-less
or "eternal" flow of life itself. In the picture,
the flower figure forms a matrix for harmonic fluctuations
in golden-mean ratio's, which are understood to form the
universal container and source of life force. The external
results are for example fractality and Fibonacci ratios
in physiology and in biological rhythms. The individual
effect is a feeling of infinite connectedness, inspiration
and bliss. The nested sine waves, when in proper phase-alignment,
|
|
together form a regular pulse stream, creating a flow
of continuity. This flow - "that which we hold on
to" - forms the back-bone of individual existence
and causes a feeling of time and space, substantiation,
segregation and body and senses. Life-force is attractive
or centre-seeking, and initially tends toward indiscriminate
action (or thermo-dynamics in physics). Self-awareness
is expansive and transforms into emotion (or inertia in
physics). Allthough opposite in a certain way, only when
these two universal, creative aspects come together, forming
equilibrium, life can be created. When they get coherent
and more and more harmonically inclusive in the heart
and brain, physical and psychic wellness are the result,
and ultimately spiritual realisation. |

Pattern recognition in EKG and EEG
and its use in biofeedback, therapy and
coaching
The
various patterns and rhythms in the EKG and EEG,
and generally all biological fluctuations, when they
are coherent, reflect the innermost harmonic principles
of life in a measurable way. The basic concept is that
the powerfull, sentient energies contained herein are
not expressed directly, but instead in the form of a
dynamic and sustainable interaction between life-force
and self-awareness.

Unified Field Theory linking Physics, Life and Consciousness
A.
From a classical viewpoint, life-force and self-awareness
are effects emerging from a material process. Nevertheless
they play a crucial role in all creation. Unified Field
theory should therefore include these effects, which
are traditionally considered "subjective",
besides the classical, "objective"
laws of physics.
B. (Sensory) perception is an intrinsic
part of physics. The classical viewpoint is, that individual
perception is caused by the objective sensory organs
plus nervous system. Unified Field theory should be
able to describe the phenomenon of perception on a more
fundamental level.
This
implies first of all that a Unified Field theory linking
physics, life and consciousness should start with a
proper, and not confused philosophical outlook.
