Coherent pace

Equal inhale and exhale at a fixed pace, with no hold. The picture is the pace. This is not a heart measurement and not a resonance-frequency assessment.

Opening pace 5.5 breaths per minute is a product default. The cited protocol is a preset on this page, not that opening pace.

Skip this

• Skip this if a controlled breath feels strained.

Stop if

• Stop if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, tingling in the lips or fingers, chest pain, heart pounding or irregular beats, visual change, nausea, headache, or panic that is rising rather than settling. Sit or lie down. Breathe quietly, without controlling the breath, until it passes.
• If chest pain, fainting, or trouble breathing does not settle, seek urgent care.
