Slow breathing benefits

Slow breathing is a quick and easy way to change your state, whether it is to decrease stress or increase your energy and focus, or even in creative problem-solving. Other science-backed benefits include:

• There is a short-term reduction in blood pressure after guided, slow breathing exercises.
• It can alleviate the symptoms of depression and anxiety.
• It appears to help relieve insomnia.
• It can improve people’s management of pain.
• It can help patients cope with chronic conditions like arthritis.

Right breathing can have a profound effect on calming the mind quickly and can act as a speed ramp into the meditation practice by getting you to that place of no-thought.
