A warm lantern glowing on a dark stairway.

Slow, coherent breathing at around five to six breaths a minute, anchored in five ancestral breath traditions across the Maroon Quadrilateral™ (Creole / West African / Caribbean / Indian Ocean).

Everyone. Free-tier practice; no equipment. The most portable protocol in the library.

How strong is the evidence?

Good for short-term calm. Slow breathing is one of the best-studied self-regulation practices, with consistent effects on heart rate variability. The cultural history is the book's own synthesis.
