Rollin McCraty: Teams perform better, you feel safer with each other, etc. And we've done enough of this now that I can pretty confidently say that will be just two key factors in whether we get in sync with each other or not. First is the emotional connection we have. Right?

If people really feel safe with each other, and appreciate each other— Doesn't have to be couples, even though that's a great place to do this kind of research. That their rhythms will synchronize. Even at great distances, this is the cool thing that we're seeing now. It's not just a local effect.

You can have these non-local— Connections as well, where you see this synchronization. So it's, I think, and this is also something that can be facilitated. In other words, we can train coherence together. To really create this synchrony that we're talking about.

That's the ground state for social harmony. Right? And, say, whether it's group or team performance.

Nipun: I mean, so let's say you're talking to… go ahead, please, yeah.

Rollin McCraty: Well, I said, so a positive emotional connection and incoherence training is the other, not as important, but also an important factor in whether people get in sync or not, especially non-locally.

Nipun: So being in a positive state, with positive emotions that you're saying is actually quite fundamental for your coherence, which then allows that multiplier effect, with other people, and even those who may not be in a state of coherence at that moment.

Rollin McCraty: Yeah, yeah, and people who… now we go into some of the global, consciousness work, where we're… the global stuff. There's growing evidence, and already pretty clear evidence, that when we are together in a coherent state, with a shared intention especially, there's an amplification effect. I think that's what you were trying to ask me earlier. And 1 plus 1 doesn't equal 2.

It's actually a much greater nonlinear amplification that can go on. When we're coherent together. So if we do meditations together, especially if we're coherent, that can have a measurable ripple effect out into the planetary field of consciousness.
