Creative-arts interventions have historically been used to treat people exposed to complex trauma. In the United States, however, such interventions have failed to achieve widespread use, perhaps because of obstacles to systematic study, which have prevented development of a sufficient evidence base...

The human body, even at rest, needs energy to perform necessary physiological functions. Strict conditions are required for measuring basal metabolic rate (BMR). Many factors that have a direct impact on BMR including the condition of autonomic nervous. All living systems are affected by external an...

Heart rate variability (HRV) is considered as an index of both physical and emotional health, and biofeedback aiming to increase the level of HRV has demonstrated extensive beneficial effects. Although HRV biofeedback is commonly and reliably applied in adults, the use of this technique, alone or in...

During this month's Add Heart Call, host Deborah Rozman and guest Charlene Johnson, Nurse Manager of Perinatal Services at Kaiser South Sacramento, will talk about why, in today's uncertain energetic environment, it's prime time to increase our patience baseline and make it an essential part of our...

The scope of this systematic review was to summarize the existing literature on the effects of heart rate variability biofeedback (HRV-BF) on executive functions (EFs) across the lifespan. Specifically, it aimed to investigate the factors that may affect the efficacy of HRV-BF interventions, such as...

Scientific research on heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback is burdened by certain methodological issues, such as lack of consistent training quality and fidelity assessment or control conditions that would mimic the intervention. In the present study, a novel sham HRV-biofeedback training was p...

During this month's Add Heart Call, host Deborah Rozman and guest Owen Ward, HeartMath Chief Strategy Officer, talked about a 'softener energetic' and how we can access it to help us find more flexibility and ease through whatever life presents. They also explained what it means to soften the energe...
