The Power of Breathwork: Techniques to Relieve Ailments

Coherent Breathing for Balance

How to do it: Align your breath with a specific count to achieve emotional and physical balance.

Coherent Breathing, rooted in ancient yogic traditions and adapted for modern use, centers on synchronizing breath with a specific count to foster emotional and physical equilibrium. By coordinating inhalation and exhalation with a predetermined rhythm, typically involving a specific count of breaths per minute, this technique regulates the autonomic nervous system. It activates the body’s natural relaxation response, effectively reducing stress and promoting emotional balance. The intentional, rhythmic breathing patterns also contribute to increased heart rate variability, supporting cardiovascular health. Additionally, Coherent Breathing aids in mental clarity and a sense of calm, making it a beneficial practice for those seeking to manage stress, enhance emotional well-being, and support overall physical health.
