Heart Coherence Mitochondria Research Project
Join Dr. Catherine Clinton, Dr. Christine Schaffner, and Dr. Hemal Patel
in exploratory research into heart coherence and biophoton emission, the light emission from the mitochondria.
An Update from Dr. Catherine Clinton
Welcome!
We are excited and hopeful to uncover a new mechanism behind the impact of emotions and coherence. In this collaborative research study, we explore the effects of gratitude and love on the biological action of our mitochondria. We also will be doing exploratory research into heart coherence and biophoton emission, the light emission from the mitochondria. In a time fraught with fear, anxiety and discontent, we aim to bring awareness back to the power of our hearts to lead the way forward.
What is Coherence?
Coherence is when two or more things are working in the same rhythm to become a unified whole.
Physiological coherence is a scientifically measurable state characterized by increased order and harmony in our mind, emotions and body. It is the shared communication between the heart's energetic field and the energetic field of the brain.
We hope you'll join us in this exciting research study!

Heart Coherence Mitochondria Research Project
Â
According to HeartMath Institute research, different patterns of heart activity have different effects on your thoughts and behaviors. Patterns of love, awe and gratitude foster a state of heart coherence.
When the brain and heart are working in coherence it brings the body into a beneficial rhythm. Without coherence, your ability to think clearly, remember, learn, reason, and make effective decisions can be negatively impacted.
Furthermore, your heart’s communication with the brain during stressful or negative emotions can also lead to even more stress.
HeartMath has created exercises that help build physiological coherence between the heart and the brain. This study will look at the effects of a simple heart coherence exercise that builds feelings of gratitude and love. We aim to show the effects of these heart coherence exercises on mitochondrial function.
Mitochondria are the organelles within most of our cells that create ATP or the energy currency of the body. The valuable energy they produce is essential to our health and thriving.
This research study will assess mitochondrial function pre and post the heart coherence exercise period with the mescreen™ blood spot test. Participants will be asked to test with the mescreen™ at home before the exercise period and immediately after. The heart coherence period consists of 42 days of a daily heart coherence exercises that take under 6-minutes while wearing a Garmin health tracking device to collect heart rate variability data
Join the Groundbreaking Heart Coherence &
Mitochondria Research Study
Explore how daily Heart Coherence practice can influence your mitochondrial health
through this unique research opportunity.
🔬 Study Summary
This 42-day study will evaluate how consistent Heart Coherence practice impacts mitochondrial function. You'll take two mescreen™ mitochondrial blood spot tests (before and after the 42-day period), wear a Garmin device, complete two health surveys at the time of blood collection, and watch short daily heart coherence videos via an app.
đź’¸ Cost to Participate: $700
- Two mescreen™ mitochondrial tests (valued at $1200)
- Free Garmin tracking device (yours to keep, valued at $200)
- Free access to over $300 worth of expert content from:
