Description

Resonant breathing is like a stress reset button.

Inhale, exhale ...
... and after just a few minutes see if you feel a little bit calm, just let that soak into you.

The Breathing App (TBA)

is inspired by the resonance, the scientific name that describes what happens when our heart rate, heart rate variability, blood pressure, and brainwave function come into a coherent frequency. It occurs spontaneously when we breathe at a rate of five to seven breaths per minute (instead of our usual 15-18). It results in a calm, restful alertness, and many other benefits.

About Resonance

The effects of resonance support the innate ability of our body, nervous system, and emotions to restore themselves through the balancing of the complementary branches of our autonomic nervous system, which control our heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, respiration, and many other automatic functions of the body.

There have been hundreds of scientific studies performed on resonant breathing, which show a wide array of benefits, including reduction of inflammation, reduction of stress, improved sleep, improved resiliency, and strengthening of cardiovascular function.

How is it possible for one breathing technique to do so much? The answer lies within our nervous system. By breathing at resonance, we enter into an even balance between the two branches of our autonomic nervous system, the sympathetic (which moves us towards activity) and the parasympathetic, which moves us towards rest.

The sympathetic branch is our accelerator and speeds us up. The parasympathetic is our braking system, which slows us down. We alternate between these two every second of the day, with each breath we take.

However, in our fast-paced, information-heavy world, we often lean towards acceleration. Spending just a few minutes consciously breathing sends signals of balance to our brain, telling us that we are ok, and brings us out from the part of our brain that makes us feel overwhelmed, into a state of calm. With resonant breathing, you learn how to apply your brake at will, rather than being sidelined by anxiety, distractedness, or excess stress.

Our world is very much in sympathetic overdrive: we are overly active, overly plugged in, and live in a world of both heated politics and climate. It’s important to learn to cool down, so that we can be as effective in our lives as possible, and conscious breathing is one of the best ways to do that. The Breathing App, by virtue of toning the vagus nerve, reduces inflammation and induces a state of restful alertness and mental clarity.

Resonant breathing is like a stress reset button.

Best for meditation

Far and away the best meditation support available. People can use subtle guidance like this, where they are still free enough to discover their own experience without being told what subtle arising to pay attention to (or fabricate in their imagination). This is what the world needs. We slowly become sensitised to our personal direct experience.

This app actually empowers people to meditate, in a world of apps that slowly disempower. Most apps overwhelm people with guidance, giving a false sense of achievement, yet also slipping in a belief of not being able to do it on their own).

Five stars. Easily the best support available.

What makes it amazing is how simple it is

It is an extremely user friendly app but the best part is there’s no fluff. One click to open the app and one click to press play- that’s it - you’re doing resonance breathing. It is a no pressure anytime well being app and that’s what keeps me coming back to it, oh and it’s free. Amazing!
