How This Works

Coherent Breathing slows your respiratory rate to approximately 5–6 breaths per minute, which improves heart rate variability (HRV). Improved HRV is associated with better stress resilience, emotional regulation, and nervous system balance shifting you toward a parasympathetic, rest and digest state.

Alternate Nostril Breathing engages both hemispheres of the brain and supported regulation of the nervous system. It can reduce sympathetic nervous system activity, fight or flight while enhancing parasympathetic. It also improves focus and reduces anxiety by synchronising breath and attention.

Pinhole Breathing lengthens the exhale. This type of breathing also stimulates the vagus nerve, which slows the heart rate and promotes a sense of calm and safety in the body.

Loving kindness meditation works by actively cultivating feelings of warmth, compassion, and well wishes first toward oneself, then extending to others. This practice helps rewire habitual thought patterns, reducing negative self talk and emotional reactivity. By repeatedly focusing on positive intentions, it strengthens feelings of connection and empathy.
