Скачать или смотреть The Physiological Sigh: Effective Breathing Exercise for Stress and Anxiety

The physiological sigh is a simple yet powerful calming breathing technique designed to reduce stress and anxiety. This method involves taking a deep inhale through the nose, followed by a second, shorter inhale before a long, extended exhale through the mouth. This pattern of breathing helps to quickly calm the nervous system and is particularly effective in moments of acute stress.

The physiological sigh works by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the body’s rest-and-digest functions. This technique was first identified in the 1930s and has been recently popularized by neuroscientists like Dr. Andrew Huberman of Stanford University. It is a natural reflex that occurs spontaneously in humans and animals, particularly in situations where the body needs to reset its breathing pattern, such as during deep sleep or in confined spaces.

One of the key benefits of the physiological sigh is its simplicity and accessibility. It can be performed anywhere and at any time, making it an excellent tool for managing stress in real-time.
