Listen "S1/EP#12: Alternate Nostril Breathing 1:2 Ratio + 8-Minute Practice"
Episode Synopsis
Build upon the foundation of your Alternate Nostril Breathing Technique by increasing the ratio of your breaths to 1:2, making the exhalation twice as long as the inhalation. The focus on the exhalation stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system (the "rest and digest" or "rest and restore" response in the body), and helps to lower both heart rate and blood pressure. It also allows you to override the impulse of automatic breath, building discipline, while making each breath an act of purpose and intention.
