What is Resilience?
Resilience is the capacity to prepare for, recover from
and adapt in the face of stress, challenge or adversity.
Your resilience capacity is the amount of energy you
have stored in your inner batery. The greater your
resilience capacity, the more energy you have available
when you need it.
Learning and applying energy-management skills can
increase your energy reserves, thereby increasing
your resilience capacity. Plugging energy leaks so you dont waste energy
unnecessarily is a key to building and maintaining your resilience.
The Four Domains of Resilience
There are four primary domains of resilience: physical, mental, emotonal and
spiritual. We have resilience in each domain.

Energy Balance
People tend to expend more energy than they recover.
Stressful feelings deplete us and are major factors in
how we perform and in disruptng the quality
of our sleep.
Its the constant energy expenditures without
the balance of adequate rest and recovery
that lead to burnout, errors, health
challenges and diminished performance.
Emotonal responses to situatons, rather than situatons themselves,
are what cause stress.
Emotons are a primary driver of stress. Our emotonal responses to
perceived threats such as anxiety, irritaton, frustraton, resentment,
loss of control or helplessness are what we experience when we say
we are stressed.
Depletng and Renewing Emotons
We experience a wide range of emotons every day.
Emotons afect the nervous system and hormones, both of which
afect our performance and resilience level.
Some emotons deplete us and others renew us.
Some emotons are easy to identfy and others run beneath our radar.
Depletng emotons reduce our resilience capacity and our ability
to think and communicate clearly.
Renewing emotons and attudes recharge our inner bateries and
rejuvenate us mentally, emotonally and physically.

Energy-Draining Situatons/Events Exercise
Identfy situatons that cause stress, the corresponding feelings that
typically drain your inner batery and what you currently do now to
handle them. Write them on the lines below.
Examples:
Situatons Feelings Current Soluton
Late for work Anxious Call co-worker
Argument with spouse Angry, helpless Wait for it to blow over
Cant get enough sleep Frustrated, tred Leave work early

Situatons Feelings Current Soluton

Inner-Ease
Technique
An Intelligent Energy Self-Regulaton Technique
The state of ease is a highly regeneratve state that helps us fow more
easily through challenges and builds our resilience capacity.
Inner ease is not necessarily a state of relaxaton. Its a state of actve
calm in which we are composed and balanced on the inside, but ready
for intelligent acton.
Step 1. Focus your atenton in the area of the heart. Imagine your breath
is fowing in and out of your heart or chest area, breathing a litle
slower and deeper than usual.
Suggeston: Inhale 5 seconds, exhale 5 seconds (or whatever rhythm
is comfortable).
Step 2. With each breath, draw in the feeling of inner ease to balance
your mental and emotonal energy.
Step 3. Set a meaningful intent to anchor the feeling of inner ease as you
engage in your projects, challenges or daily interactons.
Inner-Ease Quick Steps
Heart-Focused Breathing
Draw in the feeling of inner ease
Anchor and maintain the feeling
Applicatons Use the Inner-Ease Technique to:
Start your day, before bedtme and prior to challenging or creatve events.
Discern important issues and make beter decisions.
Prevent or reduce anger, overwhelm or anxiety.
Stay poised in ease to maintain judgment-free partcipaton in meetngs
or conversatons.
Create or restore patence and resilience when needed.
Enhance creatvity and intuitve insight.
Use the Inner-
Ease Technique
before, during
or afer stress-
ful situatons,
projects or
communicatons
to help sustain
balance and
composure
throughout
the day.

The Physiology of Coherence & Optmal Functoning
Coherence is an optmal state in which the heart,
mind and emotons are aligned and in sync.
Coherence is a key to performing at our best and
building and sustaining resilience.
The Autonomic Nervous System
The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) consists of two branches: the
sympathetc and the parasympathetc. It regulates 90% of the bodys
internal processes.
The ANS signals the body to speed up or slow down, depending on the
situaton. Emotons can profoundly change the actvity in the ANS.
The Hormonal System
Over 1,400 biochemical changes are set in moton by our changing emotons.
Two of the hormones triggered are cortsol, the stress hormone, and DHEA,
the vitality hormone.
Depletng emotons increase cortsol and renewing emotons increase DHEA.

Heart-Brain Communicaton
Heart-Brain Communicaton
The heart has its own complex intrinsic nervous system which is
called the heart brain.
The heart sends more informaton to the brain than the brain sends
to the heart.
Heart signals afect the brain centers involved in decision-making,
coordinaton, reacton tmes and the ability to self-regulate.
Heart Rate Variability
Heart rate variability (HRV) is the measure of how the heart rate
changes with every beat.
We have the most HRV when we are young and it steadily declines
as we age.
Below normal HRV for your age is a strong and independent predictor
of future health problems, including all-cause mortality.
HRV is an important indicator of psychological resiliency and ability to
handle stress.
Higher levels of HRV are associated with superior mental performance
on tasks requiring executve functons.

Heart Rhythms
Emotons are Refected in Our Heart Rhythms
Emotons are refected in our heart-rhythm paterns.
Incoherent heart rhythms interfere with the brains ability to synchronize
cortcal actvity, afectng our ability to think clearly, make good decisions and
self-regulate.
Coherent heart rhythms
improve the brains ability to
synchronize cortcal actvity and
cause cortcal facilitaton.
Coherent heart rhythms
indicate that the sympathetc
and parasympathetc systems
are in sync.
Coherence Practce Outcomes
Enhances ability to maintain composure during challenges.
Improves family and social harmony.
Reduces fatgue and exhauston.
Facilitates the bodys natural regeneratve processes.
Improves coordinaton and reacton tmes.
Enhances ability to think clearly and fnd beter solutons.
Improves ability to learn and achieve higher test scores.
Increases access to our intuitve intelligence.

illustrates how diferent emotons
afect the two primary systems
the body uses to regulate over
90% of our bodys internal
systems.

Intelligent Energy Self-Regulaton Techniques

When you fnd yourself on the lef side of the Depleton to Renewal Grid and feel
stressed-out or out of sync, use Heart-Focused Breathing to take the charge out
of a stress reacton and start the process of shifing into a more resilient state.
Begin the process of shifing from incoherence to coherence by getng your ner-
vous system in sync, which in turn signifcantly improves your mental capacites.
Heart-Focused Breathing Technique
Focus your atenton in the area of the heart. Imagine your breath is fowing
in and out of your heart or chest area, breathing a litle slower and deeper
than usual.
Suggeston: Inhale 5 seconds, exhale 5 seconds (or whatever rhythm is
comfortable).
Emotons that Create Coherence
When you experience renewing emotons such as appreciaton, care, and
compassion, your physiology is naturally more coherent.
You can tap into the power of positve emotons by appreciatng family or
friends, a pet, vacaton, nature, sport, etc.
Identfy people, places or things that you appreciate in your life.

Quick Coherence
Technique
When you experience positve emotons, your physiology is naturally more
coherent. This quickly recharges your inner batery and builds your resilience.
You can intentonally create more coherence throughout the day.
Step 1: Focus your atenton in the area of the heart. Imagine your breath is
fowing in and out of your heart or chest area, breathing a litle slower
and deeper than usual.
Step 2: Make a sincere atempt to experience a regeneratve feeling such as
appreciaton or care for someone or something in your life.
Suggeston: Try to re-experience the feeling you have for someone you
love, a pet, a special place, an accomplishment, etc., or focus on a feeling
of calm or ease.
Notes:

Building and Sustaining Resilience
Three Essental Strategies for Building and Sustaining Resilience
These three strategies will help you consistently create more coherence
throughout your day, which is key to building your resilience capacity.
1. Prep to set the tone for the day and to be more composed before upcoming
stressful events. (Examples: a key meetng, event or challenging conversaton
with a client or colleague.)
2. Shif and Reset to a more coherent state as soon as possible afer a stress
reacton to minimize energy drains.
(Examples: afer a stressful meetng, phone call, upsetng news or a confict
with client or co-worker.)
3. Sustain your resilience throughout the day through regular practce and by
remembering to refresh your composure in between actvites and events.
(Examples: using a technique between or during meetngs and events, afer
work, before coming home, during a break, afer lunch, etc.)
Choose the appropriate strategy and technique, in the moment, whenever
challenging events occur. Use a technique even when you feel you dont need
one. It all adds up!

Practcal Intuiton
Research results on the electrophysiology
of intuiton show that sometmes, if a
future event is emotonally relevant,
the heart can produce a signal that
alerts you before the event takes place.
This intuitve intelligence reacts faster
than the mind can perceive and bypass-
es standard thought processes.
Other research conducted with groups of repeat entrepreneurs found that
80% relied on their intuiton when making important business decisions.
There are three types of intuiton:
Implicit knowledge, or implicit learning refers to something we learned in
the past and either forgot or didnt realize we had learned. It can also be
subconscious knowledge we gain from experience.
Energetc sensitvity is our ability to sense environmental signals, such as
magnetc felds or when we feel someone is staring at us.
Nonlocal intuiton is the knowledge or sense of something that cannot be
explained by past or forgoten knowledge or by sensing environmental
signals.
For example, a mother in one
part of the world who correctly
senses that her child in another
part of the world is in distress
or has been injured.

Freeze Frame Technique
Freeze Frame is a mult-purpose technique for stopping energy drains, obtaining
greater clarity and improving your ability to fnd innovatve solutons to problems
or issues. It can help you access your intuitve intelligence more ofen.
Steps of the Freeze Frame

Technique
Step 1. Acknowledge the problem or issue and any attudes or feelings about it.
Step 2. Focus your atenton in the area of the heart. Imagine your breath is
fowing in and out of your heart or chest area, breathing a litle slower and
deeper than usual.
Suggeston: Inhale 5 seconds, exhale 5 seconds (or whatever rhythm is
comfortable).
Step 3. Make a sincere atempt to experience a regeneratve feeling such as
appreciaton or care for someone or something in your life.
Step 4. From this more objectve place, ask yourself what would be a more
efcient or efectve attude, acton or soluton.
Step 5. Quietly observe any subtle changes in perceptons, attudes or feelings.
Commit to sustaining benefcial attude shifs and actng on new insights.
Freeze Frame Quick Steps
1. Acknowledge
2. Heart-Focused Breathing
3. Actvate a positve or renewing feeling

Relatonal Energetcs
Every tme the heart beats, a
magnetc feld is produced that
travels out from the body.
The hearts magnetc feld can be
measured up to 3 feet away from
the body.
The brain also has a magnetc feld,
but it can only be measured about an inch away from the head.
Our attudes and emotons can afect other people, not only through body
language and tone of voice, etc., but also through these magnetc felds.
That means our coherence or incoherence can afect those around us,
whether or not we are conscious of it.
You can think of the magnetc feld generated by the heart as our personal
feld environment.
Scientsts have shown that diferent thoughts, attudes and emotons create
diferent paterns that are broadcast by the hearts magnetc feld.

Josh and Mabel
In this experiment, both Josh and Mabel wore
portable HRV recorders that had been syn-
chronized. Josh was not touching or talking to
Mabel.
Josh shifed to a coherent
state and sent love and care
to Mabel. Mabels heart
rhythms also became more
coherent. This was an ener-
getc interacton.
Mothers Brainwaves Synchronized
to Babys Heartbeats
In this experiment, the researchers used a
technique called signal averaging to detect
synchronizaton between a mothers brainwaves
(EEG) and her babys heartbeats (ECG).
The mother was not physi-
cally in contact with her baby.
When the mother focused
her atenton on the baby,
her brainwaves synchronized
to the babys heartbeats. This
is indicated on the graph,
where the blue line (EEG)
aligns with the red line (ECG).

Impact of a Coherent Field Environment
This study confrms that when we shif into a coherent state, it
helps others to be more coherent.
Ten groups of four people were seated around tables.
All of the partcipants HRV coherence was being measured.
Three out of the four people at each table were instructed to shif
in and out of coherence at random intervals.
The fourth person did not know what the others were doing.
Results showed that when the three shifed into a coherent state,
the fourth person also became more coherent.
One of the quickest ways to improve team dynamics and organizatonal resilience
is to cultvate more appreciaton for each other and what your organizaton does.
Identfy qualites you appreciate about your co-workers or
organizaton.

Energetcs of Communicaton
Negatve emotonal energy (our internal noise) transfers unspoken feelings
such as frustraton, anxiety and judgment. This can create drama and
incoherence for us and for others.
When the emotonal content of the message doesnt
match the words we use, our ability to transmit and
receive informaton efectvely is compromised and we
literally send out mixed signals.
Seventy percent of mistakes can be traced back to
problems in communicaton.
Inner drama is the mental and
emotonal processing that
happens afer an incident and
amplifes the energy drain while
exacerbatng the situaton.
This can be one of the biggest
sources of energy drain and
can have a major efect on our
happiness, performance and
health.
Identfy communicaton issues in the workplace that create
drama, tme waste and energy drain:
Situatons: Consequences/Impact:
___________________________ ___________________________
___________________________ ___________________________
___________________________ ___________________________
___________________________ ___________________________

Technique
Step 1: Shif into a heart coherent state before communicatng to efectvely
share and receive informaton.
Suggeston: Set an intenton to be respectul of others views or situatons.
Step 2: Listen for the essence of what is being said without prejudging or
getng pulled into drama before the communicaton is complete.
Suggeston: Remember to re-center in your heart if you start to overreact
lose emotonal composure.
Speak from a genuine tone and consider what you are going to say and
how it may impact others.
Step 3: During important or sensitve communicatons its efectve to
confrm the essence of what you heard to insure mutual understanding.
Yet, when rushing communicatons, this is the step most of us forget.
Coherent Communicaton Quick Steps
1. Shif Into Heart Coherence
2. Listen and Consider the Essence
3. Confrm Mutual Understanding
Notes:

Establishing a New Baseline
Think of physiological and behavioral baselines as setpoints or default
setngs, around which the system strives to operate.
We establish a type of unconscious default baseline for our attudes,
emotons and behaviors that may or not be optmal or healthy.
Baselines can shif. You can build and instate a healthier baseline or
automatc default point.
An important goal is to establish a healthier,
more coherent baseline.
This graph shows two high school students
restng HRV baselines before and afer four
months of practcing the coherence building
techniques.
Heart Lock-In
Technique
The Heart Lock-In Technique is a powerful way to shif your baseline to
create benefcial and sustained changes at the physiological level, which is
imperatve for building a new baseline of resilience.
Actvatng and sustaining coherence trains the nervous system to a new
normal. The nervous system begins to recognize this more resilient and
energy-efcient state as the familiar one so it becomes your new internal
setpoint it becomes more automatc.
Building a new baseline is like laying a new foundaton or downloading a new
operatng system. In practcal terms, it means that things which previously
triggered you dont get under your skin as easily. You operate from a new
setpoint. You may also fnd that you have more energy and fow more easily
through your day, handling the things that do come up with greater ease.

Steps of the Heart Lock-In Technique
Step 1. Focus your atenton in the area of the heart. Imagine your breath is
fowing in and out of your heart or chest area, breathing a litle slower and
deeper than usual.
Step 2. Actvate and sustain a regeneratve feeling such as appreciaton, care or
compassion.
Step 3. Radiate that renewing feeling to yourself and others.
Use the Heart Lock-In technique for 5 to 15 minutes several tmes a week to
sustain and build your coherence baseline. It helps to accumulate energy and
recharge your emotonal system.
