The 4:6 breathing technique introduces students to the power of the exhale and prepares them for longer breath exhalation practices. When the exhalation is lengthened, it triggers a response from the parasympathetic nervous system, which controls the body's relaxation process. When this branch is activated, we can switch our body and mind from that fight, flight, or freeze response to the rest and digest response.
