It’s great to see the pictures of your beautiful boys. Keep hanging in there-remember that after the first 3 months things feel so much easier.

love,

Hey Pat-
Nice observation. You are exactly right. When the principles of Yin-Yang are successfully applied, on a regular basis, coherence is the result. Coherence is simply the state of balance or clarity. We measure it by looking at specific characteristics of the heart rhythms, called “heart rate variability”. The cool thing about coherence is that it can be used as a measure of effectiveness for any number of approaches to balance. Meditation, the application of Yin-Yang, chiropractic care, psychotherapy, etc. The ultimate goal of these philosophies or modalities is a sense of clarity that puts our physiology at ease. In this state, we have a balanced nervous system, a stronger, more adaptable immune system and a greater ability to deal with whatever stress is thrown our way.

Great to connect with you.

Once coherence is obtained, how is it maintained? Should one expect to be in and out of coherence, like balancing on a ball? When we spoke last week, I couldn’t believe how I felt. Saturday wasn’t so kind–anxiousness and fear and fatigue. How does one stay coherent on the downside of the wave? Practice? Acceptance? Patience?

HI Cindy,
Great Question! What’s even more cool, is that you answered your own question.
Let me just add a little bit to it.

Maintaining coherence is like surfing…the better you get at it the bigger the waves you can handle, at the same time, you can’t stay on the wave forever, it’s gonna break when it hits the beach.

Being coherent is about being mindful of the BOTH SIDES OF THE WAVE…where there is a crest or peak, there is going to be a trough. The key to navigating these is understanding when to go full throttle and when to back off a bit; when to go with the wave and when to turn and go back into it.

For instance, we are just coming into a full moon, so we are in an ONTO week. The rising mood of ONTO is creativity and authority, so you are feeling the pressure or push from that as ;you are anticipating the upcoming court date…doesn’t get much more authoritarian than going to court. After the full moon you will be in another ECO week which is repair and recover=vacation week.
