What is HRV (Heart Rate Variability)?
HRV is a relaxation technique primarily used with tense people who often experience shallow, rapid breathing when feeling overwhelmed, nervous and/or anxious. By listening to the heartbeat played through the headphones, people can control breathing deep into the tummy (not the chest) for two heartbeats and breathe out for two beats. The breath cycle has been preset to take roughly eight seconds at the beginning of the sessions and lengthen to ten seconds as the session progresses.
