Coherence Breathing | Regulate and Reset
This coherence breathing meditation guides you into a steady 5 second inhale and 5 second exhale synced with the calming tones of crystal singing bowls. Coherence breathing is one of the most evidence supported ways to regulate your nervous system, increase heart rate variability, and create balance in your internal rhythms.
As your breath settles into this gentle rhythm, the body shifts into a coherent state where heart, breath, and brain begin to synchronize. This practice builds a deep sense of calm, clarity, and connection.
You’ll feel more grounded, more present, and better able to meet your day with steadiness.
Why Coherence Breathing Works:
Research shows that slow breathing around 6 breaths per minute activates the parasympathetic nervous system, increases heart rate variability (HRV), and brings the body into a calm, balanced state. This practice helps:
- Strengthen vagal tone
- Improve emotional regulation
- Boost focus and clarity
- Reduce stress response reactivity
- Create a grounded “home base” in your body
This is one of the simplest and most powerful breath practices to return to again and again. Read more on coherence breathing here.
