Christmas Stress 😩

A coherent breathing rate of 5.5 means taking about 5.5 breaths per minute, typically with equal inhales and exhales (around 5-6 seconds each), to synchronize heart rate and breath for deep relaxation, increasing heart rate variability (HRV) and activating the parasympathetic nervous system (rest/digest) for reduced stress, anxiety, and improved focus. It's a core technique in resonance or coherence breathing, aiming for 5-6 cycles/minute for optimal nervous system balance.
