Workshop Description
Heart rate variability is strongly tied with mindfulness and selfcompassion in physiological, emotional, and practical ways. In this workshop we will discuss the concepts of mindfulness and selfcompassion as they apply to heart rate variability and introduce practical ways to integrate heart rate variability biofeedback with breathing, mindfulness, and self-compassion practices. This presentation will provide participants with a clear protocol for using heart rate variability, breathing, and self-compassion for both psychophysiological conditions and for performance excellence training. We will discuss the process from beginning to end, starting with physiological underpinnings of HRV, breathing, and selfcompassion, empirical evidence and measurements, moving to the main focus of the step-by-step practical skills: what to do, when, and how in each of these modalities and integrating them together. We will utilize PowerPoint slides, live demonstrations, case examples, and ample question and answer periods. Dr. Khazan will also incorporate into the discussion clinically relevant content from the recently published Evidence-Based Practice in Biofeedback and Neurofeedback, 4th Edition, for which she was lead editor. The workshop will be presented both in-person and streamed via Zoom with opportunity for interaction from remote attendees and CE credit.
The meeting takes place on February 8-9, 2025 at THE EMBASSY SUITES BY HILTON ORLANDO NORTH in Altamonte Springs (Orlando).
