Resonance Breathing

This is often referred to as controlled, resonance,or poly-vagal breathing. Three decades of research has shown that this type of breathing can enhance relaxation and resiliency to stress, and decrease stress, physiological flooding (fight or flight reactivity), anxiety, and depression. After grounding and preparation, you will be guided to breathe at about 6 breaths per minute - 4 seconds in, and 6 seconds out. It becomes more comfortable with practice. This does not replace medical care.
