The research carried out by the Institute of HeartMath on global coherence encompasses a wide variety of scientific data to obtain new knowledge about the interrelation of human health, animal behavior, the sun and the magnetic activity of the earth. The scientific community is beginning to appreciate and understand at a deeper level, how we are interconnected. It is said that we are getting closer to understanding why and how the magnetic fields generated by the sun and the earth affect human health and behavior - and why it is important to know this.
The idea that the earth, the sun and other planetary bodies influence human health, their behavior and, on a larger scale, social unrest and important events worldwide, is something that has been discussed among scientists for decades . The study of interconnection, which has not yet been fully adopted in the scientific community, is still being developed.
Global coherence research uses a multidisciplinary approach that includes earth sciences and astrophysics, as well as a large amount of data from studies on humans and animals that correspond to social and global events. The Global Coherence Initiative (GCI) uses the Global Coherence Monitoring System to collect a variety of data, information about the earth's magnetic field and how it affects and is influenced by human emotions and behaviors.
The Global Coherence Monitoring System (GCMS), a scientific component of the GCI, uses state-of-the-art detection technology to observe changes in the earth's magnetic field. Over time, there will be about a dozen sensor sites in the GCMS global network of magnetometers.
The GCMS sensors continuously monitor the resonance frequencies in the Earth's magnetic field. The changes in geomagnetic activity caused by solar storms, changes in solar wind speed, the alteration of Schumann resonances (RS) and, potentially, the signals of major world events that have a strong emotional component follow.
It is proven that the resonance frequencies in various magnetic fields of the earth directly overlap with those of the human brain, the cardiovascular and nervous system. Therefore, it should not be surprising that numerous physiological rhythms in humans and global collective behaviors not only synchronize with solar and geomagnetic activity, but also that interruptions in these fields can create adverse effects on human health and behavior. When the earth's magnetic field environment is disturbed, it can cause sleep disorders, mental confusion, an unusual lack of energy or a feeling of being on the edge or overwhelmed for any apparent reason.
The Global Coherence Monitoring System is used to carry out research on how the mechanisms of various fields of the earth affect the processes of human, mental and emotional physiology, as well as health and collective behavior. In addition, it is expected to investigate whether changes in the earth's magnetic fields occur before some natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and human phenomena such as social unrest and terrorist attacks.
The following GCI hypotheses guide the ongoing collaborative research:
- Human and animal health, cognitive functions, emotions and behavior are affected by solar energy, the geomagnetic field and others related to the earth's magnetic fields.
- The earth's magnetic field is a carrier of biologically relevant information that connects all living systems.
- Each person affects the global information field.
- Human collective consciousness affects the global information field. Therefore, a large number of people who create states of care centered on the heart, love and compassion will generate a more coherent environment that can benefit others and help compensate for current planetary discord and incoherence.
What is also related to all the previous hypotheses is that both human emotions and consciousness interact and encode information in the geomagnetic field and this information is distributed worldwide. It is believed that there are feedback cycles between humans and the earth's energy / magnetic systems.
The HeartMath Institute suggests that, in essence, this coded information is communicated non-locally between people at a subconscious level, with the effect of linking all living systems. Magnetic fields act as carrier waves of this information that can influence all living systems (positively or negatively) within the field environment, as well as our collective consciousness.
The scientific community is beginning to appreciate and understand on a deeper level how we are all interconnected and affected by the magnetic fields generated by the sun and the earth. Each cell in our body is "bathed" in the fluctuation of invisible magnetic forces in an external and internal environment.
The physiological rhythms and human behaviors are synchronized with the solar and geomagnetic activity, so that the fluctuations in the earth and the magnetic fields of the sun can affect practically all the circuits in the human being, as well as the biological systems. Therefore, interruptions in these fields could adversely affect human health and behavior. On the other hand, it is believed that changes in the intensity of geomagnetic activity and Schumann resonances seem to alter brain waves and neurohormonal responses (the brain is a very sensitive electromagnetic organ). 
It has also been shown that changes in the earth's magnetic field affect human heart rhythms and have been associated with changes in brain activity and nervous system; sports performance, memory and other functions; with the synthesis of nutrients in plants and algae; with the number of traffic accidents reported; mortality from heart attacks and strokes; as well as with the incidence of depression and suicide.
The earth and the ionosphere generate a symphony of frequencies ranging from 0.01 to 300 hertz, and some of the great resonances that occur in the earth's field are in the same frequency range as those they produce in the human cardiovascular system, the brain and the nervous system. Although researchers have examined some of the possible interactions between the terrestrial and human magnetic field, animals and plant activity, the new GCI research data indicate that we can be more deeply interconnected with the Earth's magnetic field than previously imagined.
Throughout history, many cultures believed that their collective behavior could be affected by the sun and other external cycles and influences. This belief turned out to be true. On a larger social scale, the increase in violence, the crime rate, social unrest, revolutions and the frequency of terrorist attacks have been linked to the solar cycle and the resulting alterations in the geomagnetic field. The first scientific evidence of this was provided by Alexander Tchijevsky, a Russian scientist who realized that the most serious battles in World War I occurred during peak periods of sunspots. At that time, Tchijevsky carried out an in-depth study of the global history of humanity around 1749 and compared the key events that happened with the appearance of solar cycles during the same period of time until 1926.
The following image, created from the original Tchijevsky data, shows a graph with important numbers of human events corresponding to the events that occurred in the solar cycles during 1749 to 1926.
Original Tchijevsky data: the blue line corresponds to the annual number of important political and social events, such as the start of wars, social revolutions, etc., while the red line graphically represents solar activity, indicated by the number of spots solar from 1749 to 1922. The stories of 72 countries were compiled and it was found that 80% of the most important events occurred during solar maximums, which correlate with the peaks of geomagnetic activity.
Solar activity has not only been associated with social unrest. It has also been related to the periods of greatest human flowering, with the development of architecture, art and science, as well as positive social change.
This gives us the opportunity to learn from the mistakes of the past and consciously choose new ways to "navigate" these great flows of energy to create periods of prosperity in humanity and humanitarian advances. When old structures that no longer serve humanity collapse, an opportunity opens up for them to be replaced by more adequate and sustainable models. Such positive change can affect political, economic, medical and educational systems, as well as the relationships of people in their workplaces, homes and communities.
The Rhythms of the Earth
The Earth has a very strong internal magnetic field, which is believed to be generated by electric currents (in the external liquid of the iron core), driven by internal heat sources. The magnetic field resembles that of a bar magnet or "dipole field" with an axis tilted about 11.5 degrees from the axis of rotation, so the magnetic poles are not the same as the geographic poles. The intensity of the earth's magnetic field was first measured by Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1835 and has been measured several times since then. The field has shown a relative decline of approximately 10% in the last 150 years. The locations of the magnetic poles are not static; They roam up to 55 kilometers per year.
The geomagnetic field is influenced by the sun and the rotations of the moon, as well as by solar eruptions and influences - probably - interplanetary. Animals, including birds, can detect the earth's magnetic field and use it to navigate during migration. It has been shown, for example, that cows and deer when grazing tend to align their bodies from north to south in response to the earth's magnetic field.
Solar wind forces include charged particles that push against the earth's magnetic field. Due to the solar wind, the part of the geomagnetic field facing the sun is pushed in towards the surface of the earth and flattened out when the part of the field facing away from the sun, known as the magnetic tail, is pulled from the earth. A visible phenomenon of the collision of the solar particles charged with the earth's magnetic field is the aurora or the polar lights of the north and south, which are commonly known as the aurora borealis and the southern aurora.
When the solar wind meets the earth's magnetic field, it causes various types of complex oscillations in the field, which are often referred to as micropulsations and field line resonances . Based on the shapes of its waves, magnetic pulsations and field line resonances have been classified as continuous pulsations (Pc) and irregular pulsations (Pi). And since their frequencies are so low, they are generally characterized by their period of oscillation rather than frequency. There are a variety of mechanisms that produce these oscillations, such as the interactions of the solar wind and the main lines of the earth's magnetic field; sudden changes in solar wind pressure that move / push the field in or allow it to expand outward; and the sudden changes in the direction of the solar wind that cause the magnetic tail to stretch and replicate.
The following figure shows an example of these field line resonances, recorded on the GCI magnetometer at the site of Boulder Creek, California. Important note: the frequencies of these field line resonances are in the same range as many of the rhythms found in the functions of the cardiovascular and nervous systems of humans and animals.
In the example of the Boulder Creek site, there is a clear frequency at 0.1 hertz, which is the same frequency as the heart rate of a person who is in a coherent state of heart. Research has shown that changes in these ultra-low frequencies (ULF, also called Pc and Pi) caused by solar activity and changes in geomagnetic activity, can affect human health and behavior.
Data recorded on the GCI sensor of the line resonance of the geomagnetic field in Boulder Creek, California. All resonance frequencies overlap the frequencies of the autonomic and cardiovascular system of the human being. In this example, there is a clear standing wave frequency at 0.1 hertz, which is the same frequency of our heart rhythms when we are in a coherent state.
Schumann resonances: Schumann resonances are global electromagnetic resonances in the cavity formed between the Earth's surface and the ionosphere. They were named after the German physicist Winfried Schumann, who first predicted them in 1952. Electromagnetic impulses such as flashes of global lightning (Earth's storm activity) fill this cavity and cause Schumann resonances. The first accurate measurements of Schumann resonances were made from 1960 to 1963 and since then there has been a growing interest in them across a wide variety of fields.
The sun's radiation ionizes part of the earth's upper atmosphere and forms a conductive plasma layer, the ionosphere. The ionosphere that surrounds our planet is negatively charged in relation to the surface of the earth, which creates a strong electric field between the earth and the ionosphere. Schumann resonances occur because the space between the surface of the earth and the conductive ionosphere acts as a closed waveguide. This waveguide acts as a resonant cavity for electromagnetic waves, thus the Schumann resonances appear as distinct peaks at extremely low frequencies starting around 7.8 hertz, which is considered the fundamental frequency.
The interest in Schumann's resonances has gone beyond the limits of geophysics to medicine, where questions have been raised about the interactions between planetary rhythms, health and human behaviors.
The 7.8 hertz similarity of the earth's resonance and the human brainwave rhythms was quickly identified after Schumann's resonances were measured, and the first studies were able to demonstrate a correlation between these resonances and the rhythms brain Numerous studies carried out by the Halberg Chronobiology Center at the University of Minnesota, along with other studies, have shown that there is an important association between solar field line resonances, Schumann and geomagnetic resonances along with a wide range of health and human and animal welfare indicators.
Although the existence of Schumann resonances is an established scientific fact, how these important planetary electromagnetic stationary waves act as a background frequency that can influence biological systems, such as the heart and brain, is not understood. completely. 
The green arrow on this spectrogram indicates continuous pulsations, as well as Schumann resonances. Data were collected by the GCI magnetometer in Boulder Creek California.
[Would you like to hear the resonances of the earth? This three-minute audio file is data collected from the GCI magnetic sensor in Boulder Creek. The resonances have shifted in frequency, to an audible range. They were recorded at night during a period of relatively quiet ionosphere activity.]
The GCI hypothesizes that changes in the earth and in the resonant frequencies of the ionosphere can influence the function of the nervous and cardiovascular systems, as well as the brain of the human being. Until recently, it had not been possible to test this hypothesis scientifically due to a lack of reliable and continuous measurements of ionospheric data and line and field resonances, as well as an inability to do long-term monitoring of physiological systems of people, such as monitoring heart rate variability, reflecting the activity of the nervous system.
The Interconnection of all Living Systems through the Earth's Magnetic Field
Researchers at the HeartMath Institute and the GCI have great beliefs that health and human behavior are influenced by solar and geomagnetic activity. In addition, GCI researchers assume that the earth's magnetic field is a carrier of biologically relevant information that connects all living systems. In this regard, they have demonstrated in laboratory research that the electromagnetic field generated by a person's heart can be detected by nearby animals or by other people's nervous systems.
For example, research carried out in the HeartMath Institute laboratory has confirmed the hypothesis that when an individual is in a state of coherence of the heart, it radiates a more coherent electromagnetic signal in the environment. This research has shown that even when we are in this coherent state, we are more sensitive to the detection of information in fields radiated by others. The energetic heart: Bioelectromagnetic interactions within and between people is a scientific monograph by Rollin McCraty, Ph.D, which mentions that of all the organs, the heart is the one that generates the greatest rhythmic electromagnetic field, approximately 100 times stronger than the brain field The heart field can be detected several meters from a body with sensitive magnetometers.
The magnetic field of the heart would be a plausible explanation of why we can sense or "feel" the presence and emotional state of another person regardless of body language or other factors. The HeartMath Institute has also found that there is a direct relationship between heart rate patterns and spectral information encoded in the frequency spectra of the magnetic field radiated by the heart. Therefore, it is believed that information about a person's emotional state is encoded in the magnetic field of the heart, which communicates with the whole body and with the external environment. 
Growing evidence suggests that an energy field is formed between groups of individuals through which, communication between all group members occurs simultaneously. In other words, there is a “group field” that connects all members (article: Consistency: uniting personal, social and global health). One study showed that in a group where people were trained to maintain states of coherence of the heart for several minutes, they could promote consistent states in untrained participants.
Also supporting the hypothesis that magnetic fields are carriers of biologically relevant information, a recent study demonstrated that epigenetic information related to DNA can be detected as electromagnetic signals in a highly diluted solution and that this Information can be transferred and recorded in pure water that has never been exposed to DNA, but only in the presence of a weak magnetic field of 7.8 hertz. On the other hand, this information can lead to the recreation of DNA when the appropriate basic constituents of the latter are present - but only if the electromagnetic fields of Extremely low frequency (7.8 Hz) are present to transport information.
The study authors also indicate that a very low frequency electromagnetic field that stimulates the transfer of information from DNA could come from natural sources, such as Schumann resonances, which begin with a frequency of 7.83 hertz.
Dr. Michael Persinger, a known neuroscientist, has conducted numerous studies examining the effects of magnetic fields of the same magnitude as the geomagnetic field on brain functions and information transfer. n. Not only has it shown that applying external fields similar to Schumann's resonances can induce altered states of consciousness, but has also suggested in a detailed theory that the space occupied by the geomagnetic field It can store information related to brain activity and that this information can be accessed by all human brains.
Persinger also suggests that the earth's magnetic field can act as a carrier of information between individuals and that information is important for interaction with neural networks. These findings again support the GCI hypothesis that the earth's magnetic field is a carrier of biologically relevant information.
The HeartMath Institute and the GCI state that because humans have brain and heart rates superimposed on the resonances of the earth's magnetic field, they are not only receptors of biologically relevant information, but also essentially create feedback with the magnetic field of the land thus contributing information to the global country environment.
While it is not difficult to conceive that existing life forms in the earth's magnetic field could be affected by modulations in this field, it is a far-reaching proposal to suggest that the earth's magnetic field connects all living systems and carries and distributes biologically relevant information. However, GCI researchers assume that when a large number of human beings respond to a global event with a common emotional feeling, the collective response can affect the information distributed in the Earth's magnetic field. In cases where the event evokes negative responses, this can be considered as a planetary (information) voltage wave and, in cases where a positive wave is created, a global coherence wave could be created.
