This book illustrates a simple, yet profound law of nature governing health and human development—coherence heals. Keith, Jay, and Chris demonstrate the importance to life of mind and body coherence, and they show how to develop it.
—Tony Nader, MD, PhD, MARR, head of the international Transcendental Meditation organizations in over 100 countries

What is The Coherence Effect? [kevin: move this above What You’ll Learn]
Coherence heals. The coherence effect is the healing effect of creating order (we call it coherence) in the mind and body. All diseases are disorders, and the antidote is to create order in the disordered part of the body or in the body as a whole. That is what modern medicine seeks to do with its pharmaceuticals. But pharmaceuticals often just treat the symptoms and not the underling disorder. If we want lasting health, we need to apply the coherence principle of creating order to what keeps us healthy on a daily basis—to our diet, exercise, and rest and relaxation or meditation practices.

Brain Wave Coherence
Coherence heals. The coherence effect is the healing effect from making the mind and the body function in a more orderly or coherent way. It’s the most important factor in whether we’re healthy, which is starting to be recognized by modern science.
Brain wave coherence, for example, is the new frontier in brain science. When studying brain waves, the term “coherence” means that the cells in different parts of the brain are firing at the same time in the same way (more about this in chapter 2). This is important because one part of the brain is responsible for memory, one for reasoning, several parts for creativity, and so on. And because success requires many different areas of the brain to work together, the different areas need to be communicating with each other, and they communicate by a synchronous, or coherent, firing. Brain coherence improves mental functioning and is associated with reduced anxiety, depression, PTSD, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and other disorders. Conversely, the absence of brain wave coherence is associated with autism, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s disease. These findings are why researchers today are looking so closely at brain wave coherence. Read more…
