Habit / practice

How it works

Activates the vagus nerve and increases heart rate variability (HRV). Slow breathing (4–6 breaths/min) shifts autonomic balance toward parasympathetic dominance within minutes.

Most effective practiced daily, not only during stress peaks. Some people initially feel dizzy — this normalises with practice.

Getting started

This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
