Cardiac coherence consists of taking six breaths per minute, for five minutes, three times a day. In practice, this is equivalent to inhaling 5 seconds and then exhaling 5 seconds and this 6 times in a row.
The cardiac coherence technique is simple. It is possible to apply it alone at home. They respond to the rule 365: 3 times a day, 6 breaths per minute and for 5 minutes.
It is necessary to adopt an abdominal inspiration through the nose and an exhalation through the mouth, lips pursed. For anatomical and physiological reasons, cardiac coherence should be practiced in a seated position and with the back straight. For these reasons, cardiac coherence does not work well while lying down.
Cardiac coherence, which is based on a physiological respiratory mechanism, involves deep, slow breathing. When we are stressed and under pressure, our breathing tends to become faster, which can unbalance our brain and increase our heart rate, blood pressure and stress hormone level. Cardiac coherence breathing training, when done properly, improves heart rate variability, reducing blood pressure and stress hormone levels.
The effects of a regular practice of cardiac coherence are seen quickly, within a few days to a few weeks. The main effect is an almost immediate feeling of relief and calm. Blood pressure and pulse rate decrease. Emotions are put aside.
Cardiac coherence allows you to learn to control your breathing to regulate your stress and anxiety.
I invite you to practice this exercise and share your experience with us.
