Rapid breathing is a fight-or-flight mode response, telling our body to prepare for threats. Slow breathing, on the other hand, is a natural trigger to our body’s rest-and-digest mode, the parasympathetic nervous system.⠀

Research found that... "Whenever [patients] followed this slow breathing pattern, blood flow to the brain increased and the systems in the body entered a state of coherence, when the functions of heart, circulation, and nervous system are coordinated to peak efficiency." - @jamesnestor⠀

This pattern has even been used by 9/11 survivors to help with lung damage.⠀
⠀
5.5 second breathing has a rich cultural tradition, too...⠀
⠀
It’s been used in Buddhist mantras, Latin Catholic prayer, and Taoist rituals for thousands of years.⠀
⠀
It's a great pattern to start getting accustomed to SLOW breathing. The average person breathes at TWICE this rate, so use this pattern to train yourself to breathe slower for stress and anxiety.⠀
