Why Coherent Breathing? (Let's do this)

Hey guys,

So it's Ruben here again and this is about coherent breathing.

Now here on Insight Timer we actually have a section just for coherent breathing and I want to give you a very simple explanation of why that is.

So coherent breathing is around five seconds in.

And five seconds out.

And there's a reason for this,

Because it's around this specific time frame of five and five that the heart and the lungs begin to lock into rhythm.

So it's approximate,

But it's around 5.

5 breaths per minute.

This is where resonance frequency happens.

Like I said,

The heart and the lungs lock together.

The body shifts from stress mode,

From protection mode and into.

Connection mode,

Rest and restore.

Naturally feeling more calm but here's the thing actually not sleepy but more alert So right here and now.

Let your shoulders drop.

We're just going to have a little practice,

But only a little one because there's other resources here where you can listen to the full meditation guides.

So like i said let your shoulders drop And here it is.

This is what it's like.

We're going to go in for five and out for five and that's it.

All right.

So just allow yourself.

When you're ready.

Let's do this in two three four five out two three four five in two three four five out two three four five in two three that's it you've got this out two three four five in two three more and more natural.

Out two three four five in This is the pace your body craves.

Out.

In Let the rhythm carry you.

Out.

Good job.

So.

Little intro there And.

Very necessary because of that.

Coherence that happens between the heart and the lungs.

This is why we choose a 5-5 or coherent breathing.

And remember,

It's about wakefulness.

Yes.

Groundedness but also wakefulness so i hope you enjoy the resources that you find for this coherent breathing here on insight timer
