Coherent Breathing

Belly breathing, specifically coherent breathing, is a powerful tool for reducing anxiety and stress. By becoming aware of our breath and consciously shifting to deep, coherent breathing, we can regulate our nervous system and promote a sense of calm and relaxation.

Practicing deep breathing for 10-20 minutes each day can have significant benefits for our overall well-being.

What is coherent breathing?

Coherent breathing is a simple technique of inhaling and exhaling through the nose for an equal duration, usually around 6 seconds per breath. It helps to synchronize the breath and create a steady rhythm, which can have a calming and balancing effect on the mind and body.

Place your hand on your stomach to make sure that you are breathing deeply from your diaphragm filling up your belly.
