Breath is the only autonomic function you can control. Our mind body axis correlates with each other and your body continuously sends signals to your mind.
When I first started practicing breath work I didn't know the difference between any kind of breath technique that is out there.
Extended exhale breathing - activates parasympathetic branch and promotes settling
Coherence breathing - optimize heart rate and balance autonomic nerve branches
There are so many different types from the breath of fire to Kundalini Awakening understanding what breath work to do and when to do it based on how you feel because of your nervous system can be pretty important. You could be bringing yourself into a anxious mess when what you're really trying to do is settle yourself. If anybody is ever interested in learning more about this I'm in the middle of getting certified in these practices please reach out I'd love to talk about all things health and healing much love hope you all have a beautiful day!
