RESEARCH PAPERS

1/ Alterations in Brain and Immune Function Produced by Mindfulness Meditation
by Richard J. Davidson, Jon Kabat-Zinn, et al.
https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/images/uploads/Davidson-Mindfulness_on_Brain_and_Immune_Functionpdf.pdf
Demonstrates through empirical research that mindfulness meditation induces significant changes in brain activation and boosts immune function, validating the link between calm practices and neurobiological transformation.

2/ Prefrontal Brain Activation During Emotional Processing
by E. Glotzbach et al.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3109593/
Shows with neuroimaging that the prefrontal cortex is crucial in both emotion induction and regulation, highlighting the neural basis for composure and self-control.

3/ The Effect of Diaphragmatic Breathing on Attention, Negative Affect and Stress in Healthy Adults
by Xiao Ma et al.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5455070/
Finds that consistent diaphragmatic breathing improves attention, reduces negative emotions, and lowers cortisol levels, supporting claims about the benefits of breathwork.

4/ Experimental Evidence of Massive-Scale Emotional Contagion Through Social Networks
by Adam D.I. Kramer, Jamie E. Guillory, Jeffrey T. Hancock
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4066473/
Provides large-scale experimental evidence that emotional states, including calm, are contagious in social networks, which aligns with the “emotional thermostat” concept.

5/ Power Posing: Brief Nonverbal Displays Affect Neuroendocrine Levels and Risk Tolerance
by Dana R. Carney, Amy J.C. Cuddy, Andy J. Yap
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20855902/
Finds that adopting expansive postures increases testosterone and decreases cortisol, confirming the biochemical impact of body language on confidence and authority.
