Try it during a break on the job, at school or while working around the house. Many people find that heart-focused breathing is an excellent way to start and finish their days, but there are times in between when it is especially beneficial.

Heart-focused breathing won’t take a lot of time out of your day, but it can add lots of benefits to your life. Although this is not difficult to do, It may take a little time to become used to it, but eventually you will establish your own natural rhythm. Be sure your breathing is smooth, unforced and comfortable. Typically, HeartMath recommends that you breathe in about 5 to 6 seconds and breathe out 5 to 6 seconds. (In the beginning, placing your hand over your heart as you breathe can help you in directing your focus to your heart.) As you breathe in, imagine you are doing so through your heart, and, as you breathe out, imagine it is through your heart. Heart-focused breathing is about directing your attention to the heart area and breathing a little more deeply than normal.

Heart-focused breathing is certainly about breathing, as the name implies, but HeartMath places great emphasis on the heart, and years of research says you should, too. When the HeartMath Institute recommends that I do heart-focused breathing, what exactly is that? You can’t actually breathe with your heart.
