But the heart rate variability we think is more specific to that balance between parasympathetic and sympathetic, so more related to psychological stress, not just metabolic demands. So that's super interesting. So Costa Rica leads you to a different yellow, maybe green mind state, better baseline.

I monitored my, with my aura ring, I monitored my heart rate variability during a meditation retreat. And we know that when people slow their breathing, immediately they have, they can have a decrease in all the sympathetic activity markers. And sometimes in heart rate variability during studies.

So it's no mystery that doing these practices and doing them for longer can lead to these improvements. And that those are what we call deep rest states when we're really allowing ourselves to feel safe and to let down and let ourselves go into restorative mode. But I was surprised at how long my heart rate variability, my baseline heart rate variability took to change.

So it was only two weeks later toward the end of the retreat that my sleeping heart rate variability really improved.

tools or techniques or doorways other than meditation obviously is powerful but there's there's more than that let's explore that yeah we we have these red mind states that we don't want on all day drains our batteries stresses our mitochondria we have data on daily mood and mitochondria showing it is really sensitive to daily affect this was a um

study with Martin Picard of Columbia and we were measuring the enzymatic activity and so when we when People woke up with more positive emotion and went to bed with more positive emotion. They had higher mitochondria which we measure kind of in the middle of the week of monitoring and when they particularly at night. So there's this idea of how are we recovering from the day?

Can we maintain positive affect at the end of a stressful long day? And we certainly found the chronically stressed participants, these were caregivers, had lower mitochondria overall, but this mood effect pretty much mediated that and overrode that. So that's this pointing us to
