Breathing Benefit
Techniques that help with focus enhancement
Breathing at 5-6 breaths per minute to maximize heart rate variability and bring heart, lungs, and brain into coherence.
Inhaling and exhaling for the same duration (e.g., 4 seconds each) to achieve balance in the nervous system.
A quick, sharp double inhale through the nose followed by a prolonged, audible exhale through the mouth. Scientifically proven to quickly relieve anxiety and stress by reinflating collapsed alveoli in the lungs.
Breathing at your personal resonance frequency while receiving live heart rate variability (HRV) feedback to maximize respiratory sinus arrhythmia and vagal engagement.
A technique to alternate breathing between the right and left nostrils, balancing the *pingala* (solar/activating) and *ida* (lunar/calming) energy channels and regulating the nervous system.
A calming practice involving inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly while making a gentle, continuous humming sound (like a bee), which creates vibrations that soothe the nervous system.
A breath practice involving a gentle constriction in the back of the throat on both the inhale and exhale, creating an audible, ocean-like sound. It helps maintain rhythm, focus, and heat.
