I've been practicing these techniques for almost 20 yrs. Beginning with chronic pain in 2004, and then a major setback with a spinal cord injury in 2011. But the tools I learned in 2004 have helped me so much through my Autonomic Neuropathy journey. My dream is to be a Psychologist and Biofeedback therapist. Until then, I advocate for Biofeedback to fellow patients all the time. Keep up your amazing work!
Christopher Lee really has done everything
The best lecture on HRV in UA-cam. Dr Richard is both knowledgeable and simple. He has learnt a lot from his patients and transfering the knowledge to others. He is a great teacher and an excellent student. 👏
Against the power of Mordor there can be no victory.

yeah I thought that was funny. It's amazing how sensitive our biology is to others.
yes! Didn't know if anyone would get that.
I needed that laugh. May he rest in peace
I was thinking count dooku

Great video and Richard. HRV is Phenomenal technology which I highly recommend.
I use a EmWave2. Highly recommended it!
I use it. Daily. My 2 year old daughter sits on my lap while we play some of the games.
In 2006 & 2008 I had military deployments (East Timor & Afghan). After I went into mini retirement. Came back to society as a professional Coach (was already in leadership development right). I now use the HeartMaths, NLP, PSYCH-K, mBraining, Mindfulness Technologies to help my clients perform to their best. Happy to connect with you Richard, (or any elite soldiers or professionals under high pressure).
As someone who has been studying this and experimenting with myself and been amazed by the results e.g. controlling fasting blood sugar, I have often been confused by the complexity of it. Listening to this video somehow brought many things together. Many thanks Dr. Gevirtz
Samar Singh glad you enjoyed it!
I personally think that mindful breathing whilst running is very critical. It keeps the HR low and also causes the body to stabilise. The issue is for a runner to become efficient they need a very consistent rhythm. This stems from a good metronome which is the breathing and heart. Would like to hear the presenters views on this in other talks as this is a fascinating subject. HRV has so much potential.
This was very informative and coherently drew together and explained the inter plays/relationships of lots of separate concepts I was previously aware of, without understanding their complex connections. Thank you.
Great video!
I love this. Thank you for sharing.
Saruman looks good with this new haircut and career change.
Breathing exercises saved my life as an entrepreneur
Closest thing to natural health manipulated "Magic" since transcendental meditation of the sixties! I'm in! My Probiotic research (gut to brain) got me hooked! N.D./N.M.D.
Don Hall glad you enjoyed it!
Very grateful for this video and the work of Richard Gevirtz. A lot of information in this video inspired my own video on the topic of HRV
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it!
count duko?
This is so empowering and should be taught to children in schools. Thank you for sharing this great info for a healthy quality life.
Thank Paul. We're glad you enjoyed it.
It is being taught! www.astronautssel.com is doing some great work.
thanx for this
If you close your eyes and just listen, you can almost imagine that *Kermit The Frog* is giving this lecture.
Thank you for posting this video, it's a fascinating subject and certainly ties together a lot of core concepts, mindfulness meditation etc. Keep up the great work
Thanks Simon. Glad you enjoyed it.
Dr. Richard, I enjoyed watching your clinic. I'll love to get more involved with HRV Biofeedback and your live clinic's.
Jose luis we're glad you enjoyed it!
Came here for SRV. But this looks interesting too.
Excellent video! Any potential for HRV biofeedback training and AFIB?
How do you find out the perfect pace for each individual?
the perfect pace at times like you do nothing is good to breath 5.5 sec, will suggest to look up "james Nestor"
Coherent breathing
Big exception is for afib which results in very high variability. In this case more is not better.
How I meet Richard? I would like to apply some additional research on heart coherence in relation to rhythm.
When you say HRV, are you referring too RMSSD, SDNN, or a math equation with these values?
what is the cause of PSNS dropping significantly after 5 minutes of deep slow breathing while SNS stays or elevates?
When your HRV falls with breathing, you might be hyperventilating and creating an alkalosis that binds the oxygen too tightly to your hemoglobin. When that happens, try holding your breath and see if your HRV comes up again. Deep breathing may lead to hyperventilation unless you wait for a gentle urge to breath before taking a new breath.
Very interesting. Has any work been done with stress levels and people who work as 'first responders'? (police, paramedics etc)
I'm an NYPD officer and dealing with so much stress right now. This was so informative. I will take your suggestion and info the higher ups. Thank you for your comment and concern.
Very interesting
Thank you!
Hi,
Thanks and appreciate for the excellent educational video! I have a question of the hrv, can one just breath as usual , get the machine to measure the breathing and measure the hrv to know the coherence? Or one always have to follow the set breathing rate and inhale exhale?
Thanks !
Hi 1000delight,
Sure, it is possible to measure HRV and coherence when a person is breathing normally but you will probably be seeing very low values. Coherence between heart rate and breathing (respiratory sinus arrhythmia, RSA) happens more easily when the person breathes slowly, somewhat deeply and regularly. Normal breathing is fast (10-12 breaths/minute), generally shallow and rarely regular enough to get much RSA happening.
ThoughtTechnologyLtd
Thank you and appreciate for your help!
How could I determine my own resonance frequency, or coherence pace? Would I need something to measure my breathing, or could I correlate my breathing with HRV readings?
You would need a device to measure your heart rate variability, as well as a breath pacer that will take you from 7.0 to 4.5 breaths/min in incremental steps. A respiration gauge would also provide better data, but it's not required.
Is there an App for this ?
What does HRV have to do with this? Do you have HRV data?
Yes. You can see it as the stair step wave form on the graph.
Great presentation! As a person who practices 10 minutes of mindfulness, you have me interested. Do you have any biofeedback device that is sold to general public, not only to clinicians? Thank you so much!
Heart math is one I am researching. Curious if others, as well.
@@cathycoryell2351 Hi, did you find any other organization that also has them???
I hope one of knowledgable folks here can answer a simple question for me. I have been researching HRV and especially how HF power reflects parasympathetic tone. It is theorized that slowed breathing 6 sec inhale 6 sec exhale will enhance the parasympathetic nervous system by increase vagal tone and decrease systolic blood pressure in hypertensive individuals. So why does HF power REDUCE in individuals when the paced breath compare to normal breathing? Until I tested this out I always thought that HF power would increase in response to an acute bout of slow breathing? any help is appreciated. I am using a powerlab and labchart software
+UDrich1985 During baseline, if you take the LOG transformation of the HF Power, it's an estimation of how well the vagus nerve is working, called "Vagal Tone." While doing slow breathing, HF power reduces because it is reflective of both sympathetic activity and parasympathetic activity. While breathing between 4.5 and 7, HF will basically disappear and you see an increase in LF, which is reflective of parasympathetic activation.
+Diego Garcia Hi, thanks I'm gradually starting to figure this out. I absolutely agree about HF's relationship to vagal tone but I have always read that LF is controversial in meaningfulness. Its argued to measure baroreflex activity and not cardiac sympathetic innervation.
“The women all had moustaches… “ Seriously? Can’t believe you just said that.
How many seconds of breathing in and how many of breathing out?
Heart math institute says it's different for everyone but they say 5 seconds in and 5 seconds out is average. I still have no idea how we're supposed to know what's ideal for us though.
Easy. Inhale 5 to 7 seconds and then exhale 5 to 7 seconds. Which one you should do - the time lengths that feels best. A slower or a little faster.
generally 6 breaths/minute: 4 seconds inhale, 6 seconds exhale
Ima a healthy 36yo endurance cyclist with a 30s HRV. Ive tried eating 3 hrs before bed, no drinking, air purifier, blue light blocking glasses and nothing helps
Can someone help me please??
Whats been going on? What sort of symptoms are you suffering from?
@@tatewinters5565 no simptoms, y feel good, just compare to my teamates who have 100+ hrvs I feel like Im missing something, I guess its very personal this hrv thing
which tool is this exercising guy using? ? thought tech? and which one ?
Hi Ado,
Dr. Gevirtz is using Thought Technology's ProComp2 - 2 Channel Biofeedback & Neurofeedback System along with the BioGraph Infiniti software + HRV Suite.

@@ThoughtTechnologyLtd Thank you !!! I am planning to use those tools in Brazil.
@@janealves8374 u can try Heartmath and Emwave2, or even Sensate now, I am going to get the Sensate tool soon !
What kind of software/devices were being used? Can you please tell me?

Thank you for this video. Do you have to do the exercise 10 minutes in one session or can you split to 3 times 5 minutes a day?
Hi daisyduck520,
The current research has people doing the exercise for continuous periods of time. There isn’t any clear research that compares continuous training (in 1 day) to multiple, shorter training periods (in the same day).
Being a bit of a realist, people are impatient so if they’re unwilling to spend a whole long period doing the training, it’s best to split it up (lest they decide not to do the exercise at all). Hope this helps!
ThoughtTechnologyLtd thank you very much for taking the time to answer my questions 😊. I will try the ten minutes and am happy that I found something that might help my heart and maybe also with my ectopic beats and palpitations.
Ros Holden thanks i will check it out 😊
Thank you!
Dr O'Hare has taught his 365 Breathing Technique to over 2,000 physicians. The 365 stands for 3 times a day, 6 breaths per minute for 5 minutes. Sessions to to be done upon wakening, mid day and late afternoon. In 15 days, cortisol drops 25-30% and DHEA doubles. As a Holistic Personal Trainer, I have had great success with this in my clients.
7:10 - He says it makes sense because when you breathe in, there's a lot of oxygen present and you want your heart to beat fast to pump all of it out to your cell, and when you breathe out, you want your heart to take a break. This didn't make sense to me. After breathing in and pumping all that oxygen to your cells, wouldn't there then be a lot of CO2 that needs to be taken away, and thus wouldn't you need your heart to continue to beat fast?
+Adam Zerner Taking up oxygen and "dumping" CO2 happens simultaneously. The rate of this exchange form O2-molecules from the air to the blood (and from CO2-molecules from the blood to the air) is determined by the difference in concentration of the respective molecule in the two phases.
That's why, after having breathed in, this exchange is most effective (high O2 and low CO2 in the air in your lung) and higher heart rate a good idea. When the exchange tapers off (gradients have decreased), you need to breath out; now a lower heart rate is better, because since comparatively little exchange can still happen, the blood being pumped through the lung at that point in time would not get rid of all of its CO2 and could not take up a lot of oxygen. You would merely "recycle" the "exhausted" blood one more time (and uselessly consume energy for the pumping in the process), but you want "fresh", oxygen-rich blood. So the heart slows down until the lungs get fresh air again.
Sounds logical to me at least.
Adam Zerner good question! Check out Oxygen Advantage and Patrick McKeown. He's been studying that for quite some time. You find good videos here on youtube.
does this have anything to do with Heartmath? Emwave2 ? HRV training ?
Ado Podrinje,
The video is of Dr. Richard Gevirtz explaining some of the science of heart rate variability, and the effects of HRV training on the autonomic nervous system.
We recently released the eVu TPS, a wireless, app-based device that will allow you to train 3 biofeedback modalities (HRV, skin conductance, and temperature), and track your training. You can see a short video describing the unit here:
ua-cam.com/video/q7rGG3n0j1g/v-deo.html
I DO have the Emwave2, but somehow did NOT manage to really love that thing... it takes patience and time
Yes, however these other devices don't monitor respiration. ProComp Infiniti and eVu-TPS do. breathing is critical
i love how they are so successful in taking credit for things that so called "primitive peoples" have been doing since the beginning of time.
He's not taking credit. He did apply empirical techhniqes to distill down the actual mechanisms of action.
But - why are you mad that a beneficial technique is now available to more humans for greater human flourishing?
WHO CAN AFFORD THESE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. Like four grand for all of it...
Certainly but I can't, and I think the average person who could benefit most from this technology can not afford these prices either. I'm sure they will come down in the future but still it seems high in my opinion given what it takes to make. Obviously I can't quantify research and development costs but just the hardware can't cost that much. I get it that they are marketing to institutions as you suggest but the average person suffering from stress or PTSD would benefit greatly from having this at home.

I will thanks. I meditate and Ive found that works for the time being.
+deltrontheory Who are you?????????????????? I will definitely check these out. I sent you a message on plus.
you can do it for free with a phone app which measures by putting your finger on the camera
I luv how no one from the company replied...
The man with the beard is a breath wizard. Do you really only take 5 breaths per minute?
Yes.
You start the video telling how good variability is in HRV and then you show how all meditation practices are actually creating more coherence in the HRV which is the opposite of variability telling everyone how good this is - now what is your goal ?
+Health Navigator My understanding is this: he was saying that some variability is characteristic of a "healthy" (i.e. NORMAL in a healthy person) heart rate who isn't practicing the breathing exercises. This does not mean that diverging from the default, "normal" HRV towards more coherence isn't a good thing, just that it isn't the norm. In other words, I believe he should have used the word "normal" rather than "healthy" to avoid confusion.
"You start the video telling how good variability is in HRV and then you show how all meditation practices are actually creating more coherence in the HRV which is the opposite of variability"
The HRV refers to differences in time between heart beats but the coherence is in reference to the pattern of increased heart rate during inhalation and the decreased heart rates during exhalation so you see both respiration and HRV waves on the screen to match for coherence. Go to 9:38 to see the example on the screen.
I think his point was that this technique is more useful than meditation in situations that are more active and don't allow a person to take a break in a quiet space, which is required with meditation. The HRV practice can be done just about anywhere in a very short time.
dead product?
not at all. ProComp2 is still available as is eVu-TPS
Wait, this’s suppose to help pain, yet he needed an MRI for a bad back ...ok...
Are you serious? Its not claimed nor intended to be a magic cure all.
"...Trigger point release..."
Don't be a con artist. The evidence for that stuff is weak.
You haven’t worked with EFT then. Or the Emotion Code. The evidence is astounding.
@@UltravioletHeather the evidence is actually based on papers with really bad methodology and have been criticised in journals
@ultravioletheather could you link some of the critical pieces?
