If you only ever learn one breath to use every day, make it this one 🌿 It’s called Coherent Breathing: inhale for about 5.5 seconds, exhale for about 5.5 seconds. Simple, steady, and powerful. Here’s why it works: ✨ Every inhale speeds your heart up slightly ✨ Every exhale slows it down through the vagus nerve — your body’s natural calm switch ✨ Keeping the timing equal locks your heart and breath into rhythm, creating the biggest swing between speeding up and slowing down That swing is called HRV — heart rate variability. Higher HRV means your body recovers from stress more easily and stays calmer under pressure. Practise this for just a few minutes a day to build balance, focus, and resilience. @imdbreathwork #IMDbreathwork #breathwork #coherentbreathing #stressrelief #focus #calm
