Re: How our heartbeat shapes our thinking [video]
#2My therapy involves periods of getting in touch with my body, e.g. tension in my forehead or tightness in my chest, and then as I focus and try to be present with the sensations, words tend to pop into my mind that often yield insights into suppressed feelings and ideas. There's a book that nicely presents the therapy technique named body centered psychotherapy by Ron Kurtz.
I wonder if focusing on ones heartbeat employs the same underlying mechanisms that help self-insights happen.

In Buddhist insight meditation, the first of the four foundations of mindfulness is "mindfulness of the body".

#6I hate when news organizations don’t offer a text version of a story. Video and audio segements are soooo slowwwwwzzzzzz.
For noisy sites like BBC, I routinely hit reader view.
And this story made no sense. Huge non sequiturs.
But then. of course. The text is just commentary on the video.

#7I noticed many years ago, that the beats-per-minute (BPM) and music intensity (Classic/Thrash) affect my heartbeat/rate and therefore my mood.
Since then, I listen to classic music when I drive, soft piano jazz when I work, and Sepultura before doing sports.
There are plenty of studies/articles that have discussed how music affects heart-rate (and therefore mood). Below you can find two I found worthy of reading.

I use Adblock+ (v2.9.1) and "Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus" (v.1.4)
For the sites I visit frequently, I use the "element hiding.." to block columns/rows, basically stripping the 'noise'. So everytime I click on an article, I have already hidden the 'promoting' boxes/sections/columns.

#9I was both happy but not surprised to see autism pop up in relation to this. I was recently diagnosed and a key part of it is over-sensitivity and misinterpretation of bodily sensations.
I've always been 'overly' aware of my heartbeat and it has caused me distress, but since wearing a Fitbit 24/7 and being able to see that, no, it's not off the scale, things have improved. I guess that's a sort of very lightweight, passive version of what's going on in this research. Beta blockers have also proven to be very efficacious as a way of breaking out of cycles of worry/response.

#10I listen to french house or chilled out trance when I'm writing code. I didn't read the article, but I definitely notice that rhythmic lock-in that comes with doing that.
My guys give me shit about it sometimes because I guess I like to rock my shoulders to the music, I don't ever notice it but they call it "catjamming".
Rhythm is a constant in all organic life, I think it plays a very strong role in all of our psychology. I've psyched myself out in chess games by making two fast moves in a row, my whole mental atmosphere blows up and all the shapes and patterns melt into noise and craziness.
At least a zillion times I've been working on some troublesome code and my phone goes and instantly just disconnected from that thought.
Sometimes DJ's throw in abrupt breaks or adlibs, that irks me.
It's all rhythmic, it's just that not all rhythms are measured in simple beats. I have rhythms through the seasons, through a quarter, through a week of inspections or audits, I have a rhythm for when stress in general.
Idk what I'm talking about. I'll read the article now.
