Introduction to Heart-Focused Breathing™

Heart-Focused Breathing™ is a simple yet powerful technique developed by HeartMath® to support emotional balance, stress reduction, and overall well-being. This practice involves consciously directing your breath to create a state of coherence—where your heart, mind, and emotions work in harmony. By shifting focus to slow, rhythmic breathing and activating positive emotions, Heart-Focused Breathing™ helps regulate the nervous system, enhance resilience, and improve clarity and focus.

Regular practice can support a more balanced response to stress, improve heart rate variability (HRV), and foster a sense of inner peace. However, while Heart-Focused Breathing™ is a beneficial tool for self-regulation, it is not a replacement for medical or psychological treatment.
