The Science Behind It
Resonance breathing matches the biological resonance frequency of the human circulatory system. When you breathe at this pace, the baroreceptor reflex (which regulates blood pressure) oscillates in perfect synchrony with your heart rate. This resonance induces a state of high coherence, reducing anxiety and improving overall autonomic nervous system health.
