Breathing exercises for anxiety

By shifting your breathing rate and pattern, you can stimulate the body's parasympathetic response. This is the body's opposite system to the emergency fight or flight mechanism and is often called the relaxation response.

Several anxiety breathing exercises are described in the following link:

How does it work?

When using your mobile camera, Breathmix monitors your pulse through your finger. It adjusts your breathing to match the rhythm of your heart. This method of paced breathing is called Resonance Breathing or Coherence Breathing.

You can learn more in this study:

When the camera is not available, you can choose a comfortable breathing pattern and tempo instead. If you previously used biofeedback mode and calculated your resonance (your body's optimal number of breaths per minute) - Breathmix will help you set it as your breathing tempo.

We hope you will find this app useful.

Stay relaxed,
The Breathmix team :)
