The Science Behind Panic Attacks
The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is like the body's alarm system, triggering the "fight or flight" response during a potential threat. This response increases heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration rate, preparing the body for action. But how do you switch it off?

Your Best Friend: Your Breath
Enter the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), responsible for the "rest and digest" state. By deepening and slowing down your breathing, you can activate the PNS, providing an instant calmness boost with every exhale. The key is to achieve resonance, and the magic happens when you breathe at the right frequency—about four to seven breaths per minute.
The Queen of All Techniques: Resonance Breathing
Numerous breathing techniques offer calmness, but not all deliver fast results. Resonance breathing, with its specific frequency, synchronizes your heart rate and body's pressure system, providing rapid relief. Watch a tutorial produced with Jake Twomey, a breath-work ambassador and meditation guide, to embark on this transformative practice.
