Heart-Brain Coherence, Emotional Intelligence & The Vibrational Spectrum of Love with Dr Rollin McCraty

The Science of Heart Coherence with Dr. Rollin McCraty

In this compelling episode, we’re joined by Dr. Rollin McCraty, Director of Research at HeartMath Institute, to explore the science behind heart-brain coherence, emotional intelligence, and the vibrational spectrum of love.

We follow Dr. McCraty’s personal transformation – from communications engineer to pioneer in consciousness research – and unpack how our emotional states shape not only individual physiology, but also collective coherence.

In this episode, we explore:

• The physiology of emotion and how it impacts cognitive function and health
• The heart’s electromagnetic field and how it communicates emotional states
• What heart-brain coherence is—and why it matters
• The “emotional diet” and how emotions influence biology
• The role of love and appreciation in shifting physiological states
• The intrinsic cardiac nervous system (ICNS)—the heart’s own brain
• Techniques from HeartMath® to enhance intuition and reduce stress
• How coherence practices support global resonance and healing
• The science of quantum coherence in living systems (Mae-Wan Ho)

This episode is ideal for anyone interested in the bridge between science and subtle energetics—from healers and therapists to researchers and seekers.

Rollin McCraty, Ph.D., is director of research at HeartMath Institute Research Center, a professor at Florida Atlantic University, and a psychophysiologist. He has been with HeartMath Institute since its founding by Doc Childre in 1991. Rollin’s critical research on heart rate variability and heart-rhythm coherence has gained international attention in the scientific community and is helping to change long-held perceptions about the heart’s role in health, behaviour, performance and quality of life.
