The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of stress management training on quality of life, functional capacity, and heart rate variability in elderly patients with New York Heart Association class I-III congestive heart failure (CHF). While substantial research exists on stress managemen...

The analysis of heart rate variability (HRV), or heart rhythms, provides a reliable measure of autonomic nervous system dynamics that is particularly sensitive to changes in psychophysiological state. Whereas common methods of HRV analysis typically quantify the amount of variability in a given reco...

Heartfelt positive emotions, such as love, appreciation, care and compassion, have long been associated with spiritual experience. However, because of a fundamental lack of mental and emotional self-management, such emotions, and associated experiences of increased spiritual connectedness, remain la...

Deciphering the relationships between emotional states and physiological processes is critical to broadening our understanding of consciousness. The purpose of this study was to explore the neurophysiological correlates of specific states of consciousness associated with the experience of sustained...

While psychology has primarily focused on improving health and well-being by reducing negative emotions, relatively little research has explored the impact of positive emotions on physiological processes and psychological functioning. We have found that sustained states of appreciation lead to a dis...

For centuries, the heart has been considered the source of emotion, courage and wisdom. At the HeartMath Institute Research Center, we are exploring the physiological mechanisms by which the heart communicates with the brain, thereby influencing information processing, perceptions, emotions and heal...

Growing evidence suggests that alterations in autonomic function contribute to the pathophysiology of panic disorder (PD). This retrospective study employed 24-hour heart rate variability (HRV) analysis of Holter records to compare autonomic function in PD patients (n = 38) with healthy, age- and ge...

While much psychological theory and practice has focused on improving health and well being by eradicating negative emotions, relatively little research has explored the impact of positive emotions on physical and psychological functioning. We have found that sustained positive affective states lead...
