Finding My Resonance Frequency

<p>Heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback training promises to strengthen the response of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and increase adaptability and resilience, physiologically as well as mentally.</p> <p>It relies on the strong coupling between breath and heart, and more specifically the fact that slow breathing at a certain frequency &mdash; the resonance frequency &mdash; triggers a strong physiological heart rate response. On the inhale the heart beat speeds up and on the exhale it slows down, leading to a high HRV and training the ANS to be more adaptable.</p> <p>I recently wrote about the exact biomechanical mechanisms that underly this response:</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/yudemon/finding-my-resonance-frequency-4e0eab189dfa"><strong>Learn More</strong></a></p>
