Coherent Breathing

Five and a half breaths a minute, the rhythm the heart loves

Resonance frequency research, refined from pranayama

Breathe in for about five and a half seconds, out for the same, and the heart and breath fall into step with each other. This is the rhythm your coherence score responds to most directly. It feels like almost nothing while you do it, and like a different afternoon when you stop.
