This breathing technique is the best method for calming your "fight or flight" response. With a little practice you will find this guided meditation restores a profound relaxation.

Using this guided meditation

This guided meditation restores balance to your "fight or flight" response in the autonomic nervous system. This technique is distinctly different than muscle relaxation as it restores balance to the nervous system responsible for your heart, circulatory system, and internal organs. Practice this guided meditation until you feel completely comfortable with the instructions. With practice you will be able to produce this deep relaxation response without the aid of the audio. Note that it takes a minimum of five minutes of practice to produce this relaxation response. For a deeper understanding of this guided meditation you can research the field of Heart Rate Variability.
