Description
Vedic meditation techniques have been shown to improve well-being, mood, attention, mental focus, and stress tolerance in the past. Vedic rituals, meditations, and yogic breathing help in reducing the symptoms of mental disorders and their physiological effects. One of the most overlooked aspects of public health is mental health, and the costs of mental illnesses are highly underestimated. On a global scale, more than 25 percent of the population are affected by stress, anxiety, and depression disorders. Untreated mental illness costs the United States up to $300 billion. Stress, a major cause of mental illness, affects all systems of the body as well, including the musculoskeletal, respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine, gastrointestinal, nervous, and reproductive systems. Vedic practices, which improve Heart Coherence, have been shown to be useful in treating stress, anxiety, and attention issues in clinical research. Heart Coherence is a physiological state that indicates stress level. SmartHealth technology helps us measure Heart Coherence synchronously. It provides evidence of the practice and its effects on our internal state of mind. A pilot study was conducted among four participants to investigate a few chosen yogic meditation practices and its effects on their body by Heart Coherence. As they started practicing the meditations, positive feeling states rose that could be seen on the mobile app as a rise in Heart Coherence. When Heart Coherence increases, negative thoughts reduce leading to stress reduction. Among the various practices like Vedic rituals, Chakra and Marma meditation, Holotropic breathing, and KapalBhati breathing, it was found that Vedic Ritual was the most effective in raising and sustaining Heart Coherence. Moreover, previous studies show that breathwork improves Heart Coherence as well. Vedic meditation practices help raise Heart Coherence and improve mental and effectively physical health.
