Samoregulacja

Breath

Breathing is a fundamental physiological process that can also serve as an accessible point for regulating arousal and attention.

Definition

Breathing connects the body, nervous system and attention. Slow, calm breathing can support the relaxation response, although it is not a substitute for treatment or professional help for serious symptoms. In practice, it is a simple tool to reduce arousal before a decision, conversation or task.
