Every Heartbeat Shapes Thoughts and Emotions
Researchers emphasize that the heart and brain are deeply interconnected, with every heartbeat influencing cognition and emotion within milliseconds. This link helps explain why cardiovascular diseases like hypertension often coincide with mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety.
The team describes brain-body states operating at different timescales: microstates tied to emotions, mesostates linked to stress, and macrostates underlying chronic disease. These findings suggest treatments should integrate cardiovascular, neurological, and psychological factors for a more complete approach to health.

Can attention to your breath improve mental health?
Circular Breathwork Linked to Improved Mental Health
Researchers from the Ernst Strüngmann Institute for Neuroscience, the MIND Foundation, alongside other collaborators, have found that reductions in carbon dioxide saturation during circular breathwork sessions were correlated with the emergence of altered states of consciousness. Altered states resembled those reported in psychedelic experiences and were associated with improvements in psychological well-being and reductions in depressive symptoms.
