What is it?

Issued from cardiac coherence This controlled breathing technique synchronizes heart rate, breathing, and nervous system.

Main benefits:

• Reducing stress and anxiety
• Improving mental clarity and focus
• Regulation of blood pressure and the immune system. Better management of emotions

Protocol

• ‍3 times/day
• 6 breaths/minute
• 5' duration of the training

‍Why does it work?

• ‍Nervous balance : Breathing at 6 cycles/minute stimulates the vagus nerve, activating the parasympathetic system (relaxation).‍
• Brain waves : Promotes alpha waves (state of awake relaxation).‍
• Hormones : Reduces cortisol (stress hormone) and increases DHEA (youth hormone).

‍To avoid

• Force breathing (must remain natural)
• Practice just after a meal or an intense effort.
