Benefits of Controlled Breathing

Controlled breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress and anxiety. Box breathing is used by Navy SEALs for stress management. The 4-7-8 technique was popularized by Dr. Andrew Weil for sleep. Coherent breathing at 5 breaths per minute optimizes heart rate variability (HRV).
