Your Best Friend: Your Breath
Enter the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), responsible for the "rest and digest" state. By deepening and slowing down your breathing, you can activate the PNS, providing an instant calmness boost with every exhale. The key is to achieve resonance, and the magic happens when you breathe at the right frequency—about four to seven breaths per minute.

Resonance breathing, with its specific frequency, synchronizes your heart rate and body's pressure system, providing rapid relief.
