Abstract
COVID-19 is a recent major event, adding to planet Earth’s contexts of chaos, crime, injustice, illness, and violence. The HeartMath system has produced research evidence for scientific interventions that alter contexts characterized by chaos and stress, promoting health, coherence, and interconnectedness. This study provides an updated overview of HeartMath as an interdisciplinary, scientific, coherent, integral heart-based healthcare system, operated locally through various initiatives and globally through the Global Coherence Initiative. The HeartMath approach integrates ancient and contemporary, indigenous and mainstream, popular and folk, Eastern, Western, and African forms of healing. The HeartMath interdisciplinary, personal, social, and global vision and mission have considerable theoretical and practical potential for promoting planetary health, education, and development.

COVID-19 is only one recent example of a factor influencing planet Earth’s contexts of chaos, incoherence, illness, and violence
An in-depth coherence experience has been described as follows [9,47]: “Beyond the unique nature of each event, with their individual integrity and superficial differences, the essential structure of the coherence experience initially appears as some variation on the conscious practise of the cardiorespiratory, rhythmic process of breath connecting heart beats, warming and softening the heart, heralding a sense of stillness, alignment, harmony and peace, as scattered energy is felt to collect in the heart area, bringing deepening heart awareness and, typically, at some point a sense of “lift off” to unlimited self or space
The HeartMath Institute formally reviews its activities in the form of annual reports
Summary
COVID-19 is only one recent example of a factor influencing planet Earth’s contexts of chaos, incoherence, illness, and violence. Endemic struggles for survival and subsistence stresses consume human energy, distort consciousness, and exacerbate inhumanity and disorder All of this occurs within a planet in desperate need of healing. The HeartMath system has revealed various coherent, interconnected energetic patterns within and between human persons and populations [2]. Healthcare information transfer is optimally facilitated during states of psychophysiological, personal, social, and global coherence, associated with stable, regular, rhythmic heart rate activity. The special vision and mission of the HeartMath system is to promote personal, social, and global coherence. Healthcare 2022, 10, 376 special vision and mission of the HeartMath system is to promote personal, social, an2dof 10 global coherence and health [3]. Improved healthcare innovations concerning coherent, heartfelt intentions and actions are in short supply
