With the past year or two of constant stress, many people are looking for a simple way to relax on an ongoing basis. This reminded me of a previous experience with HeartMath™, and so I connected with Rachel Egherman of The Celebrated Heart, formerly of Head-To-Toe Therapies. In all my healing journey, I’ve never come across anything quite so simple and effective for calming and checking in with the heart space as HeartMath™. I wanted to learn more about the process and how you might evaluate if the self-care technique might be helpful to you.
“HeartMath™ is heart-focused breathing, or breathing through the heart space,” Rachel Egherman said of the gentle form of self-care that helps you check in with your body, your heart space, and feel supported. “This is something you can do yourself in the grocery store line. It’s a way to quickly self-regulate.”
