Breathing techniques are proven levers for controlling our stress levels. They allow us to take in more oxygen, expand our diaphragms, and push oxygen into the lowest parts of our lungs to spark oxygen exchange. Breathing exercises can lower your heart rate, reduce blood pressure, and induce muscle relaxation.

Studies show that practicing breath work for a total of 20-30 minutes a day is ideal; however, benefits can be felt through just a few 2-3 minute individual sessions scattered throughout your day. 

Perform these practices while wearing your MindMics earbuds to understand the impact of each session.
