Full interview today in DER SPIEGEL (with Veronika Hackenbroch), where I present the concept of a Vagus nerve workout – your body’s built-in relaxation system, and how you can empower heart rate variability (HRV) 🧠🫀 measurement to track your progress.

🌍 We are living in challenging (political) times. While these challenges can feel sometimes overwhelming, every small action has the potential to make the world a little more PARAsympathetic. 🌱💙
 
📖 Can
Psychophysiology inform political decisions? 🫁🫀🧠 In our latest
article published in Policy Insights from the Behavioral and Brain Sciences:

We explored the
potential of vagally-mediated heart rate variability (vmHRV) as a non-invasive
biomarker (of vagus nerve activity, the vagus being the main nerve of the
PARAsympathetic nervous system) - to enhance self-regulation—offering
actionable insights for individuals and organizations alike.
 
🫁 One key
takeaway? Slow-paced breathing: a simple yet powerful practice to enhance vmHRV
and support physical and mental well-being. It’s accessible, scalable, and
adaptable to various contexts—from education and occupational settings to
mental health care.
 
✨ To make these concepts even clearer, see the
infographics below (carefully designed by Maša Iskra 🎨) to summarize
the main ideas.
 
As the saying
goes: “The greatest of journeys begins with a single breath.” 🌬️✨
 
No, this won’t
change the world overnight 🌍, but small steps like these can make life a bit
better—one person, one breath, at a time. 💡💕
 
Let’s make the
world a little more PARAsympathetic together. 🌿
