I know there are countless studies about the effects of meditation and i've read lots of them so should really have them embedded but what i've found more useful for myself in my TMS education is to run my own experiments.
Ive got a Polar H10 which is an ECG heart rate monitor so kind of the gold standard consumer product next to being wired up in a lab. Over the past 2 days, i've run a 20 minute test of heart rate variability without meditation and then straight away the next 20 minutes with meditation. I realise it's not a perfect study but in both cases, my heart rate went down and HRV went up during the meditations (Dr Joe Dispenza Generous Present Moment meditation)
I'm aiming to continue this study using different meditations and at different times of the day and for me, it's another mechanism to show my unconscious brain that it can be trained....
