One of the most effective breathing techniques is resonance breathing. It can bring your heart and circulatory system into a state of coherence – which clearly enhances physical performance. Your metabolism is stimulated, you feel more balanced, and you have more energy to tackle everyday challenges. While many breathing techniques require more time, this method is easy to implement and still holds the potential to positively influence your life and health.
It is important that you switch to nasal breathing and avoid mouth breathing. Many experts agree that only nasal breathing can unlock the full potential of your respiratory system – while mouth breathing can actually be harmful.
We’ll show you step-by-step how to become a breathing pro and use the 5.5-second coherence method effectively to optimize yourself.
Here’s how it works:
- Sit upright, relax your shoulders and belly, and exhale calmly.
- Inhale gently through your nose for 5.5 seconds, expanding your belly as the air flows into the lower part of your lungs.
- Without pausing, exhale gently for 5.5 seconds, pulling your belly back in as the air leaves your lungs.
- Each breath should feel like a closed loop.
- Repeat this exercise at least ten times to achieve a noticeable effect.
Many breathing apps now include guides for resonance breathing, as experts around the world consider this breathing rhythm to be ideal – and usable almost anywhere.
