A stress management program using cardiac coherence was implemented after an organizational down-sizing. The study was conducted in nine voluntary workers in order to evaluate the efficiency of the pro-gram. A baseline evaluation was conducted on psychological variables (anxiety, perceived-stress, w...

We compare the same person’s (JF) 5 months of around-the-clock self-measurements with subsequent ABPM (lunar cycles 9-15) and find with the latter, not with the former, a novel diagnosis of alternating societal synchronization and desynchronization of blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (H...

Background Adrenocortical desynchronization, usually asymptomatic, led to the "circa" in "circadian" (1); 60 years later, a set of frequency-desynchronized variables are associated, with a twice-yearly, recurrent twoor more-month-long adynamia, in a 62¬year-old woman, JF...

Research suggests that police work is among the most stressful occupations in the world and officers typically suffer a variety of physiological, psychological, and behavioral effects and symptoms. Officers operating under severe or chronic stress are likely to be at greater risk of error, accidents...

Objective The objective of our intervention is to help students overcome stress and anxiety, by introducing them to a new stress management technique, and heart rhythm coherence biofeedback (cardiac coherence). They can thus best know themselves and gain more confidence in their resources. Introduct...

Principal Topic Much of the literature on intuition in business monographs and journals takes a phenomenological approach. Some of this work dates back as far as the early 1930s. The modern-day approach primarily adopts a cognitive-psychological perspective, which utilizes self-report measures of in...

Aims This pilot study was designed to assess changes in psychological status, quality of life and hematologic measures predictive of long-term health and well-being in patients with diabetes following a stress reduction and emotional self-regulation program. Methods Twenty-two patients with Type 1...

Unmanaged emotional reactions to stress not only lead to behavior problems in young people but also create physiological conditions that inhibit learning and potentially increase the risk of disease later in life. For these reasons, the integration of emotional self-management skills training progra...

The idea that an energy exchange of some type occurs between individuals is a central theme in many healing techniques. This concept has often been disputed by Western science due to the lack of a plausible mechanism to explain the nature of this energy or how it could affect or facilitate the heali...

Although cardiac sympathovagal regulation has been studied during stress using power spectral density analysis of heart rate variability, little is known about its regulation during emotional states. Using heart rate variability measurements we studied autonomic balance in 20 subjects trained i...
