At the Heart & Soul Project, our mission has always been to heal the hearts of veterans, children, and families, empowering them to live resilient, connected, and purpose-driven lives. But mission alone isn’t enough — lasting change requires research, evidence, and innovation. That’s why our founder, Kristen Condon, recently took a groundbreaking step forward: writing a grant for the HeartMath Institute to conduct a research study on the two key modalities at the core of the Soulistic Center.
Bringing Science to Heart-Centered Healing
The Soulistic Center is envisioned as a sanctuary for trauma recovery, emotional resilience, and heart-coherence practices. One aspect of Kristen’s approach combines Cognomovement and HeartMath’s Heart Coherence Protocol, modalities that have shown remarkable results in helping individuals release trauma, restore balance, and reconnect with their inner strength.
While these practices have been transformative for countless individuals, Kristen knew that documenting measurable results through rigorous research would be crucial to advancing their impact on a larger scale. That’s why she turned to the HeartMath Institute, a global leader in heart-brain coherence research.
The Grant Proposal: Research with Purpose
The grant outlines a study that will measure the effects of Cognomovement and HeartMath’s Heart Coherence Protocol on stress reduction, emotional regulation, and overall heart-brain coherence. By combining cutting-edge technology with holistic healing practices, the study aims to validate these modalities and create replicable protocols for veterans, children, and other populations experiencing trauma.
Kristen’s vision is bold: she isn’t just looking to help individuals heal; she’s building a model for the Soulistic Center that integrates research-backed practices into a comprehensive trauma-healing program. Once complete, the study could serve as a foundation for a new standard in trauma recovery, positioning the Soulistic Center as one of the first Heart-Coherence Centers of its kind in the world.
Why This Matters
- For Veterans: It provides science-backed pathways to reduce PTSD and restore nervous system balance.
- For Children: It helps young minds manage anxiety and build emotional resilience early.
- For Communities: It strengthens collective coherence, creating ripple effects of peace and stability.
By bridging heart-centered spirituality with measurable science, Kristen is setting the stage for healing on both an individual and global level. The research will not only inform the programs at the Soulistic Center but also provide valuable insights for the broader field of trauma recovery.
Looking Ahead
The Heart & Soul Project is more than a sanctuary — it is a movement. With this study, Kristen is ensuring that every practice, every program, and every retreat at the Soulistic Center is grounded in both heart intelligence and evidence-based research.
The dream is clear: a place where veterans can reclaim peace, children can grow with confidence, and communities can thrive — all supported by modalities proven to heal, restore, and elevate humanity.
Stay tuned as we continue to share updates on this groundbreaking study and the journey to bring the Soulistic Center to life.
