A one-day virtual EcoMeditation workshop, combining heart rate variability coherence, Emotional Freedom Techniques, mindfulness, and neurofeedback, led to significant reductions in anxiety (-42.3%), depression (-37.5%), posttraumatic stress (-13.0%), and pain (-63.2%) from pre- to post-workshop, alongside increases in happiness (+111.1%), flow states (+17.4%), and transcendent experiences (+18.5%). At three-month follow-up, improvements in anxiety, depression, pain, flow, happiness, and transcendent experiences remained significant, with over 71% of participants showing clinically meaningful change. EcoMeditation appears to be an effective stress reduction method that improves psychological symptoms and enhances transcendent states.
