Morning Coherence

Marcy and Jack follow forty-seven frontline healthcare workers through a ten-day biofeedback course — and find the Zoom version worked as well as sitting in the room — plus the morning practice. Read the paper: Addressing Mental Health Symptoms Among COVID-19 Healthcare Workers: A Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback Pilot Study (Darlene Lee, Ashwini Erande, Georgia Christodoulou, Shaista Malik, 2024, Stress and Health) — https://doi.org/10.1002/smi.3502

Marcy and Jack follow forty-four pilots through a month of five-minute coherence practice — and find stress falling without sedation, plus the morning practice. Read the paper: Practice effects of a breathing technique on pilots' cognitive and stress associated heart rate variability during flight operations (Jingyi Zhang, Wen-Chin Li, Graham Braithwaite, James Blundell, 2024, Stress) — https://doi.org/10.1080/10253890.2024.2361253

Marcy and Jack open Season 2 with eighteen commercial pilots who learned Quick Coherence during the pandemic — and hit the same coherence level in the cockpit as at home — plus the morning practice. Read the paper: Quick Coherence Technique Facilitating Commercial Pilots' Psychophysiological Resilience to the Impact of COVID-19 (Wen-Chin Li, Jingyi Zhang, Graham Braithwaite, Peter Kearney, 2022, Ergonomics) — https://doi.org/10.1080/00140139.2022.2139416

Marcy and Jack close out the first twenty papers with the Intuitive Heart booklet — sorting real pattern intuition from contested claims about sensing the future, plus the morning practice. Read the paper: The Intuitive Heart – Accessing Inner Guidance To Raise Our Consciousness Baseline (Rollin McCraty, Doc Childre, 2014, HeartMath Research Center monograph) — https://www.heartmath.org/research/research-library/intuition/the-intuitive-heart-accessing-inner-guidance-to-raise-our-consciousness-baseline/

Marcy and Jack dig into a two thousand four study where heart-rate patterns diverged about four and a half seconds before emotional photos — and the honest caveats that keep it contested, not proven — plus the morning practice. Read the paper: Electrophysiological Evidence of Intuition: Part 1. The Surprising Role of the Heart (Rollin McCraty, Mike Atkinson, Raymond Trevor Bradley, 2004, Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine) — https://www.heartmath.org/research/research-library/intuition/electrophysiological-evidence-of-intuition-part-1/
