A Field Instrument

Follow the ring.

Scientific Receipt, Slow, paced breathing near six breaths a minute raises heart-rate variability and shifts autonomic balance toward the parasympathetic, the rest-and-digest side, with a longer exhale doing most of the work (Russo, Santarelli & O'Rourke, Breathe, 2017; Laborde et al., 2022). The physiological sigh, a double inhale followed by an extended exhale, lowered arousal and improved mood faster than comparable practices in a controlled trial (Balban et al., Cell Reports Medicine, 2023). This is a training tool, not a medical device. Read the full evidence review →
