This simple breathing technique, extended exhale breathing, is the key to a calmer mind and body. A simple technique that engages the vagus nerve and balances the nervous system (in simple terms, the vagus nerve is a "power lever" that turns organs on and off in response to stress). Activating the vagus nerve has a direct link to lowering heart rate and reducing stress levels. With regular practice, extended exhale breathing can also improve mental clarity and focus.
