Relaxing and re-establishing psychological harmony should be a priority for all of us. In fact, we use the brain to continuously interpret the world around us. We should therefore not overlook the fact that being calm is a priority. Any memory and moment could be happier and fuller if we have a psychological situation that is as efficient as possible. Otherwise we think of the anguish of living each moment as if we were elsewhere, always agitated or frightened.
Maintaining control of ourselves isn’t always that easy. Sometimes we just have to ask for help from a specialist. Often, however, performing some gestures could prove to be fundamental. We could make them part of our daily life. This exercise could be a simple remedy for anxiety, insomnia and stress. Let’s see how we can do this to increase the chances of having a more relaxed mind with success.
In some cases it becomes a therapeutic practice
The official name by which we indicate it is that of cardiac coherence. Some refer to it as a control of heart rate variability. It is a relaxation technique based on the rhythm of the breath. If performed successfully, it could regulate the heart rhythm while also positively affecting the central nervous system. It originates from meditation techniques and takes place according to the method that we will now analyze.
This is a 5-minute exercise that is based on inhalation and exhalation cycles. It is required to keep the body in a state of relaxation, and in particular the feet, hands and diaphragm. One should not be tense or in an awkward position or with legs or arms crossed. Now you have to inhale and exhale. Each act must be 5 seconds long. In this way, in one minute we will have completed 5 cycles. In 5 minutes, or the duration of the exercise, there will be 30 inhalation and exhalation cycles.
Against anxiety, insomnia and stress a simple remedy could be this exercise that takes up 5 minutes a day
The aim would be, obtaining a situation of harmony of breathing and of the body, that of sending autonomous signals of relaxation to the nervous system (the so-called “coherence”, precisely). This would send relaxation signals back to the central nervous system. We can do this exercise virtually anywhere, even with our eyes open. Those who practice it would recommend doing it even 3 times a day and for an extended period of days to make it a constant habit.
Our mind is infested with self-sabotage techniques that we should pay close attention to. Thus, we learn to take time to breathe harmoniously and bring serenity to our rhythms. This could have positive mental consequences for the whole body. Furthermore, let’s try to ask ourselves these three questions to understand if what we do in life really corresponds to what we would like.
