Intentional Physiology

Meaning

Intentional Physiology is a paradigm where conscious mental and behavioral strategies are deliberately employed to exert a measurable, positive influence over previously considered involuntary or purely autonomic physiological processes. This includes the deliberate modulation of heart rate variability, systemic inflammatory markers, hormonal secretion patterns, and specific immune responses through practices like focused breathing, advanced meditation, or specific environmental exposures. It posits that a significant, measurable degree of physiological control is achievable through sustained, focused, and systematic effort.
