Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To find a distinct neuro-cardiac coupling, characterized by increased frontal theta-alpha EEG coherence, significantly elevated HRV and improved autonomic balance, stabilized EtCO2 levels and increased bio-energy levels. These markers will objectively validate Hari Om meditation as a potent tool for rapid autonomic reset, stress resilience, and improved metabolic efficiency.Timepoint: The present study is sham controlled cross over trial so data will be analyzed after second time point data collection.
