Coherent Breathing

"Breathing rhythmically at approximately 5.5 to 6 breaths per minute to synchronize heart rate, blood pressure, and brainwaves."

Understanding Coherent Breathing

Coherent breathing stimulates the baroreceptor reflex and locks the cardiovascular and nervous systems into a 0.1 Hz resonant frequency. This state, known as respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) resonance, produces maximal Heart Rate Variability (HRV), optimizes arterial gas exchange, and shifts the amygdala out of hyper-vigilance.

Spiritual Significance

In the Numinous path, Coherent Breathing represents a key pillar for bridging the gap between physical reality and the subtle energies of consciousness.
