It was the easiest things you can do is just to slow your breathing down. And this breathing mechanism, which I call this the 92nd breath. What we do is for 90 seconds, we just slow respiration down to a very, very slow and low rate. So the average person, the average adult, the respiration rate is about 12 to 25. respiration cycles a minute, so respiration cycles, inhale and exhale. So the average adult is anywhere between 12 to 25. Now, what research has shown is that if you get down to between six to 10 cycles per minute, that it has a profound effect on your stress levels.

So Basically what happens is you re you create something called and I need to use my notes here because my spelling is so bad. It's cyntha vague vehicle. So in their simple vehicle balance so as I talked about in my mindfulness secrets accelerator, as we discussed the concept of breathing, the importance of breathing that we have the two sides of our nervous system, we have the SNS, the sympathetic nervous system, and we have the PNS the parasympathetic nervous system. So as I explained before the sympathetic nervous system is our fight or flight. And the parasympathetic is our rest and digest. Sometimes we say that this is the gas because this is going to give us action is going to make us want to move right we're either going to fight or we're going to run and we got to do those fast.

And this is this is gonna let us chill so it's kind of the break Okay, so we have fight or flight. rest and digest gas brake. Now the way the simple, simple, I'm having problem speaking with this one. The balance go that way. works is that it doesn't so much inhibit what goes on in the SNS. What it does is it helps to create a balance because your body needs both of these.

That's why you have them, right. But our tendency is to want to hang out. So we want to hang out over here. So when we use a slower breath, we create a balance between these two. So just the simple act of slowing down our breath is going to create a balance. So we're not going to be so stressed out, we'll be able to reset ourselves, which is what our body really wants to do.

It wants to find what we call homeostasis. It's nice balance position. But what is supposed to be balanced for us is not where we tend to hang out. And we tend to hang out we create a new balance or average point which we may call our personality, our mindset, our personality, our approach to life, all these different things. So our normal our level Pull up normal, right? So our level of normal based on what our bodies are designed to be in the what we consider to be normal are two different things.

Right? So some of us are used to living in that state of the SNS being hyper activated. So it takes a little bit of work to reach to achieve this balance. So the use of this slow breathing for just 90 seconds can do it. So I'm going to give you a few different ways that we can approach this and the breathing patterns we'll have we're going to have a very simple one and then we're going to have some other ones where we throw in some other ideas that can help us to not only reduce our stress, but also help to focus our mind
