Study Notes
Flow Experience and Music
- Flow experience can be predicted by daily amount of practice and trait emotional intelligence, explaining 27% of the overall variance in flow scores (adjusted R2 = 0.27) (Marin and Bhattacharya, 2013)
Polyvagal Theory and Heart Rate Variability
- Heart Rate Variability (HRV) reflects increased parasympathetic response and autonomic balance
- HRV is associated with health and dynamic responding, while low HRV is linked to autonomic inflexibility and disease
Metacognition and Mindfulness
- Metacognition involves a fundamental shift in considering thoughts and objects of awareness, termed 're-perceiving'
- De-identification with specific thoughts leads to greater flexibility in cognitive modification and response, which is equivalent to flow (Epel, Folkman, Blackburn, 2009; Teasdale, Moore, Segal, 2002)
Mindfulness and Inflammatory Gene Expression
- One day of intensive mindfulness practice reduced inflammatory gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) (Desbordes et al., 2012)
- Long-term meditators showed a significant longitudinal decrease in right amygdala activation to visual images of different valences, demonstrating a reduction in emotional reactivity (Desbordes et al., 2012)
Mindfulness and Sleep
- Mindfulness Awareness Practices (MAP) resulted in significantly better sleep quality compared to Sleep Hygiene Education (SHE) in older adults with moderate sleep disturbances (PSQI) (JAMA - Internal Medicine, 2015)
The Science of Meaning in Life
- Meaning in Life (MIL) is a subjective state linked to better mental and physical health, characterized by coherence, purpose, and mattering (King, L.A., Hicks, J.A., 2021)
- MIL is positively correlated with social relationships and relational flow (T.F., Lambert, N.M., 2013)
Heart Rate Variability and Emotions
- Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is an index of regulated emotional responding (M., Luecken, L.J., 2006)
- Low HRV is associated with autonomic inflexibility and disease, while high HRV is linked to health and dynamic responding (y, R., Zerr, C.L., 2014)
Neurovisceral Integration Model
- The Neurovisceral Integration Model links HRV to self-regulation via executive functions and the central autonomic network (CAN) (mith, R., Thayer, J.F., Khalsa, S.S., Lane, R.D., 2017)
Flow and Addiction
- Flow can lead to addiction when overextended, resulting in diminishing returns and an imbalance in lifestyle
