The present disclosure relates to optimizing an individual s heart rate cycle using a biofeedback virtual reality system so as to facilitate coherence and resonance by which a subject s emotional state stress levels and performance may be concurrently improved. In an embodiment a biofeedback virtual reality system and method as disclosed herein accesses an individual s current coherence state and based upon that analysis provides a virtual environment related to the individual s current coherence state and allows the individual to progress to alternative virtual environments that represent better or more coherent states. A biofeedback virtual reality system can include a heart monitor and an RR interval monitor that provide information related to the individual s HRV. A biofeedback virtual reality system can be conveniently portable and therefore used at most any location so as to afford the individual the ability to decrease their stress level and/or improve their state of mind as desired.
