We measured calm and the data spoke
Independent testing (of the exact breathwork methodology I’m trained in) at MuLabs Neuroscience Lab (Lisbon, 2023) confirmed what we already knew: calm is trainable. The numbers prove that when the nervous system learns safety, the entire body follows.
Marker / System
Measured Improvement
Description / Effect
Why It Matters
Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
+31 %
Higher vagal tone → improved emotional regulation & recovery.
HRV is the gold standard metric for stress resilience higher HRV = a calmer more adaptable nervous system.
Stress Recovery Time
29 %
Faster autonomic return to calm after stress exposure.
The body exits “fight or flight” quicker preventing burnout & decision fatigue.
Cortisol Levels
22 %
Reduced biochemical stress signature; balanced HPA axis.
Lower cortisol supports hormone balance deeper sleep & fat burning metabolism.
Cognitive Focus (EEG Theta ↓ / Alpha ↑)
+26 %
Enhanced sustained attention & executive function.
Better focus equals higher productivity & clearer thinking under pressure.
Reported Sense of Calm (Survey Score)
+48 %
Participants entered deep meditative calm within 20 minutes.
Shows calmness is trainable no need for years of meditation to feel peace.
Alpha Brain Wave Power
+37 %
Shift toward relaxed alert “flow” states.
Alpha dominance links to creativity emotional stability & intuitive clarity.
Time to Reach Calm EEG State
↓ to ~17 min
Participants reached same calm state brain waves as 8 hrs of meditation.
Demonstrates efficiency a proven shortcut to deep states of awareness.
Theta Stability & Synchrony
+21 %
Improved mind body coherence & creative insight.
Balances analytical & intuitive thinking supports emotional healing.
Frontal Alpha Asymmetry
Shift → Left +18 %
Movement from stress withdrawal to positive affect & motivation.
Indicates emotional uplift & greater openness to opportunity.
Galvanic Skin Response (GSR)
27 %
Decrease in sympathetic arousal.
Physically proves calm less sweating tension & adrenal activation.
CO₂ Retention Efficiency
+33 %
Improved respiratory chemistry → better O₂ delivery & energy stability.
Trains the body to stay calm under stress enhances endurance & recovery.

Science confirms what we feel coherence is measurable.
Ed, 42 — Entrepreneur
“My HRV jumped from 46 to 74 in three weeks. But more than numbers — I can finally breathe through stress.”
Maria, 37 — Executive
Before → After 12 weeks: HR 78 → 62 bpm · CO₂ Hold 22s → 51s · HRV 41 → 69 · Calmness 3/10 → 9/10
Ben, 35 — Athlete
“I used to chase dopamine. Now I live in coherence — recovery time halved.”
Neuroscience Evidence
EEG recordings show that Mind-Breath Navigation activates
alpha and theta states.
The same frequencies seen in advanced meditation practitioners.
In under 17 minutes.
Nervous system mastery is both felt and measurable.
HRV and CO₂ efficiency rise in tandem, confirming physiological regulation
alongside subjective calm.
