Abstract
Open peer commentary on the article “Assessing Subjective Processes and Vulnerability in Mindfulness-based Interventions: A Mixed methods Exploratory Study” by Sebastián Medeiros, Carla Crempien, Alejandra Vásquez-Rosati, Javiera Duarte, Catherine Andreu, Álvaro I. Langer, Miguel Ibaceta, Jaime R. Silva & Diego Cosmelli Sánchez. Abstract: I focus on two aspects: (a) The complexity of understanding heart rate variability, which is not acknowledged in Porges’s polyvagal theory; and (b) The goals of self-regulation that vary according to cultural context.
