As we lower cortisol, We are maximizing our heart rate variability and we're doing what's known as vagal toning. This has an immediate effect on the vagus nerve. Which activates that parasympathetic nervous system. So let's begin this practice. You can do this through the nose or the mouth, Whatever feels the most comfortable for you. So inhaling for four seconds now. And exhaling for six seconds. Inhaling. And exhaling. Inhaling. Exhaling. Last inhale. And final exhale. Wonderful. Let your breath return to its natural pace. And pause to notice how you're feeling after these longer exhales. I hope you have an awesome rest of your day and your evening. Thank you for joining me.
