Elevation: The Emotion That Lifts You - Elevation: The Emotion That Lifts You
Elevation is the warm, expansive emotion triggered by witnessing acts of unusual moral beauty — exceptional kindness, courage, or self-transcending love. Proposed by Jonathan Haidt, it produces a distinctive physiological state (often a warm feeling in the chest) and reliably motivates prosocial action in the observer. The evidence base is experimental but smaller than classic emotions; the core findings are robust, though the mechanism remains partially debated. - Support the physiology of elevation through vagal tone practices
