New Global Coherence Lock-In Room

This is a wonderful experience so I am passing it on...

From the Global Coherence Initiative- Go to http://www.glcoherence.org


Meditate with the rest of the world, raise global coherence and feel the energy!

It gives us great joy to announce that the Global Coherence Lock-In Room is now up and running. GCI members from around the world are now presented a wonderful opportunity to focus coherent heart energy in unison toward any area or circumstance of the planet they feel is in need of intentional heart care and compassion.

The simple truth is these are turbulent and unsettling times in so many locations around our world. We received so many member requests this last year for a way to direct focused care and intention at the same time as other members that we felt it necessary to develop that capability. The result is the Coherence Lock-In Room. It will remain open at all hours every day. Just enter from your My Member Page on the GCI site.

We are starting with three synchronized sessions every eight hours daily, but again, you are welcome to visit the site to do coherence lock-ins anytime. If you prefer to do a lock-in with a larger group, it is best to arrive at these designated times, when we anticipate the largest gatherings will occur.

At present the designated times are 4 a.m. noon and 8 p.m. PDT. The following Web site is one of many time conversion sites for determining the number of hours’ difference between your local time and PDT – Pacific Daylight Time – which is observed, for example, in San Francisco and the rest of California in the U.S.A.: www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc.

We certainly want to encourage you to join with family, friends, co-workers and others, whether they are local or halfway around the world, in the Lock-In Room at designated times or times of you’re choosing to send out your collective coherent energy.

To view the Coherence Lock-In Room: Go to GCI Web site. www.glcoherence.org, first log-in, this will take you to My Member Page and from there you can click the Coherence Lock-In Room link and enter into room. You must be a GCI member to enter the room, membership is free, click here to join.

First time users, please click into the Session Guide (Help) to learn about all of the options available to you.

Here is a recap of the Lock-In Room basics noted above and other features of this new coherence tool:

Enter the Coherence Lock-In Room from your My Member Page on the GCI Web site. (Java required for viewing. If you use dial-up to access the Internet, you may have some limitations using the Lock-In Room, including inability to view the globe.) Please view the Session Guide (Help) for more technical help.

In the Waiting Room, you will find the most current GCI Care Focus.

A gold dot on the globe will let you see the location of other participants in the lock-in. When you’re the only one in the room, the globe won’t show any gold dots.

There are buttons to zoom in on the globe and to rotate the globe so you may see the location of participants or closer view of a particular area of need.

During lock-ins, you may choose either the audio feature with a voice guide and music or the mute button for text assistance only.

There are three designated sessions every day at 4 a.m., noon and 8 p.m. PDT.

You may enter the room for a lock-in at any time that is convenient for you.
Beta Testers Review the Lock-In Room
GCI conducted beta testing and the feedback from participants was generally very favorable, with testers noting that the Lock-In Room tended to increase the feeling of connectedness and focus. (The beta testers were anonymous.)

"I like watching the globe. It helps me concentrate on the feeling of compassion."

"I like the idea that we can come together from all around the globe to send our love and compassion out. Makes me feel even more connected, I guess we are all part of the field."

"I loved knowing that there were others participating at the same time. The guided meditation process is very helpful to get quiet."

"The world spinning before me helped me think and feel beyond my own life to the much bigger life of the world."

"After a while, I found the music was a bit of a distraction. Then I realized how to mute the sound."

"I loved the music and the voice. … I used my emWave® during the process."
We think you’ll find the Coherence Lock-In Room to be an excellent tool for taking your intentional care and compassion to a more focused and effective level. We also believe you’ll find it is an easy and intuitive tool to use, with everything you need to get started right there on the site, including a Help link at the top of the main page.

During the GCI Anniversary Celebration, Lock-In and Webinar, the Steering Committee members will talk about the project’s first year accomplishments, and plans for the next year. The GCI GCMS project coordinator will give an update on the GCI’s research and technology. You’ll get to participate in a live Heart Coherence Lock-In, and during the one-hour Webinar we’ll present a visual, step-by-step walk-through on how to use the room, so don’t miss it.

With care, compassion and coherence,

The GCI Steering Committee

Science of The Heart

Heart - Brain Interactions

Recent discoveries have shown that the heart generates a mysterious and powerful electromagnetic field. In this video, Rollin McCraty, Ph.D, Executive VP and Director of Research for the Institute of HeartMath, explores the scientific basis for understanding the amazing ways that we are connected. ....

Heart Focus Breathing

Another tip from the Heart Math De-Stress kit!

Heart-focused Breathing to reduce stress and anxiety.
Practice breathing while imagining your breath passing in and out through your heart area or the center of your chest. Envision yourself as taking a time out to refuel your system by breathing in an attitude of calm and balance (like breathing in an emotional tonic to take the rough edges off).

The key to making this exercise effective is to generate the true feeling of calm and balance. You can substitute calm and balance at times with breathing the feeling of appreciation or compassion (or whatever attitude you choose to breathe). This can be done in a quiet place or while walking, jogging, and even in a conversation once you get familiar with it. It’s very helpful for reducing anxiety, anger and mild depression.
Here is the short version of the above technique for quick reference:

1. Imagine the breath passing in and out through the heart or the center of the chest.

2. Breathe an attitude of calm or balance (or whatever positive feeling you choose) to help restore balance.
Heart-focused breathing is being taught by doctors, nurses and clinics throughout the world. It’s especially helpful during times of crisis or whenever you experience anger, anxiety or emotional overload. Heart-focused breathing exercises can help you shift stress-producing attitudes more quickly and reset your stress tolerance baseline.

I recommend that when your energy is low or you are feeling anxious you stop whatever you are doing, close your eyes, take a 3 minute break and do this technique. This is a very quick and effective centering practice.
Breathe deeply and be in the moment!
