What are the system requirements?
Answer: To successfully run the Coherence Coach, your system must equal or surpass the following configuration:
- Pentium III, 4 or similar 700 MHz1 - Mac G3, G4, G5 700 MHz1
- Mac OSX, Windows 2000 and XP2

1 Running the Coherence Coach on processors slower than a Mac G4 or Pentium III running at 700 MHz may result in irregular movement when viewing the animations as well as other performance issues.
2 The Coherence Coach may run on Windows 98, and ME but performance will be poor.
3 The Coherence Coach will run on systems limited to 16 colors, but the results may be less than spectacular.
What are the primary benefits of using the Coherence Coach?
Answer: The Coherence Coach CD is an entertaining stress relief software application that teaches HeartMath's Quick Coherence technique for stress relief and increasing performance. Step-by-step, through narration, animations and music, the Coherence Coach gives you the stress relief training to increase coherence levels.
What is the Quick Coherence® technique and how does it benefit me?
Answer: This powerful, effective technique was developed from research conducted by Doc Childre and scientists at HeartMath. The effectiveness of HeartMath techniques and technology has been scientifically validated in numerous studies conducted in Fortune 100 companies, major hospitals, government agencies, universities and schools all over the world.
Why the Quick Coherence Technique Works The “heart breathing” portion of the Quick Coherence technique helps to synchronize your nervous system and creates positive changes in your heart rhythm patterns. This in turn sends signals to the brain that have a calming and balancing effect on the brain and entire body.
However, in order to relieve stress, more is required than simply breathing and trying to relax. Emotions, or feelings, have a powerful impact on the human body. Emotions like frustration, insecurity and depressing feelings are stressful and inhibit optimal health and performance. Positive emotions like appreciation, care, and love not only feel good, they promote health, performance and well being.

HeartMath’s research demonstrates that when you intentionally shift to a positive emotion, heart rhythms immediately change. A shift in heart rhythms, from chaotic to coherent, creates a favorable cascade of neural, hormonal, and biochemical events that benefit the entire body. The stress-reducing effects are both immediate and long-lasting.
Can I access it from my desktop?
Answer: Yes, after you install the Coherence Coach the installer automatically creates an icon on your desktop for easy access. If for some reason you cannot locate the icon on your desktop you can also access it from your Start menu > All Programs > Quantum Intech > Coherence Coach.
How do most people use it?
Answer: Most people install the Coherence Coach onto their desktop and use it for short periods of time throughout the day to rebalance their systems and reach coherence. Some people also like to leave one of the animations on their screen for background images.
