  3. QS

  4. Objectives • Be more present • Slow down and gain perspective • Increase control over my thinking • Have more energy!

  5. Heart Rate Variability

  6. Heart Rate Variability

  7. Heart Rate Variability

  8. Objectives • Be more present • Slow down and gain perspective • Increase control over my thinking Use Rhythmic Breathing Heart Rate Variability biofeedback to achieve this, during everyday tasks

  24. Meditation – relaxed versus coherence

  25. Meditation No time? Week

  26. Meditation versus energy

  27. Meditation versus energy

  28. How have I felt?

  29. The challenges • Data entry & device integration

  30. Key conclusions • I can consistently raise my HRV while working (and living) • An increased HRV corresponds with greater relaxation levels • ‘touch’ synchronisation of breath at least as good as ‘audio’ • It has been a great tool to ‘relax’ & focus at work • It has changed my behaviour– dedicated meditation time

  31. Key conclusions • I feel great!

  32. Future research • EEG readings, Focus, concentration, working memory • Blood Pressure effects • Quantify other life metrics (e.g. centredness) • Sleep data
