5.5 Breaths/Minute (15 Minutes)

This meditation utilizes steady rhythm and simple harmony to cue each breath at a rate of 5.5 seconds per inhale and exhale. This pacing results in 5.5 breaths-per-minute, the ideal breathing rate for optimal health (increased heart rate variability, parasympathetic nervous system activation, increased lung expansion, etc.). I begin the meditation with some verbal guidance to help us settle into the rhythm, and let the music do the rest.

Thank you Alison - I now feel such a different rhythm in my body and mind, much more balanced and peaceful . 🙏

Amazing. Thank you. I was exhausted,( but couldn’t get my mind to stop. I feel very relaxed now

Simple and straight forward, not distracting! Good!

I'm loving these different lengths and different music to follow for 5.5 breaths per minute. Great on their own, to calm the mind before meditation or to fall into a deep listening to. Thank you!
