When breathing means resonance…
It is known for thousand of years that a deep breath is good to fight stress …But not only actually ! We also can control cravings or increase our resistance to pain for exemple, only by the respiration. Recent advances in Neuroscience give clues to understand the link between respiration and brain, with the discovery of a specific respiratory pattern at a “resonant” frequency. Tonight’s talk will present very simply notions to understand what is the resonant frequency before an overview of the beneficial effects of the deep breathing.
