Blood pressure and respiratory rate are both critical vital signs used to assess homeostatic balance [1]. They are physiologically linked as both parameters decrease during meditative states [2] and simultaneously increase in response to sympathetic nervous system activation during stress [3].

claimWhen the sympathetic nervous system (the 'fight-or-flight' system) is activated by stress, respiration rate increases, breathing becomes shallow and rapid, heart rate increases, blood pressure spikes, and cortisol levels rise, which contributes to allostatic load over time.

measurementDuring meditation, skin conductivity, oxygen consumption, heart rate, blood pressure, cortisol levels, muscle tone, urinary vanillyl mandelic acid (VMA) levels, and breathing rate all decrease, according to research by Jevning et al. (1992), Benson (2000), Lazar et al. (2005), and Austin (2006).
