Tickle your lung’s “stretch receptors”

Update: 2022-07-22

Description

Many philosophers and modern teachers of mindfulness tell you to “take a deep breath and relax.” This common wisdom is based on a principle called the Hering-Breuer Reflex. When you inhale fully and slowly, stretch receptors in your lungs signal relaxation in your cardiovascular system and up to the brain, triggering a holistic relaxation response. Try it!
