Rockliff, H., Gilbert, P., McEwan, K., Lightman, S., &Glover, D. (2008). A pilot exploration of heart rate variability and salivary cortisol responses to compassion-focused imagery.

We also explored individual differences (self-reported self-criticism, attachment style and psychopathology) to CFI. Participants were given a relaxation, compassion-focused and control imagery task. While some individuals showed an increase in heart rate variability during CFI, …
