About this episode
This is peer reviewed science. Just 10 minutes a day will improve stress, focus and aid workout recovery. Try this 5.5 Second Exercise and also the 6 Second Exercise to see which you find more relaxing. I find the 6 second, but it just depends on the nervous system. Hit me with questions or comments. From the National Library of Medicine: "Heart rate variability biofeedback (HRVBFB) or resonance breathing is breathing at a slow rate, usually 4.5 to 7 breaths per minute, which depends on each individual, to maximise their RSA. Self-training in resonance breathing lowers stress, blood pressure, and improves mood. Training on resonance breathing improves vagal tone, thereby improving HRV, which is an index of stress and health."
