Vagal Autonomic Breathing Exercise

This is probably one of the most important videos I have recorded, and a long time coming. We often tell people they need to breathe more and better but we don't give them specifics about what constitutes beneficial breathing. This particular exercise is very specifically geared to improve parasympathetic autonomic function, also known as vagal breathing, to try to counteract the chronic fight and flight response that most of us are stuck in. It is especially helpful for people trying to have easily accessible tools to break anxiety.
