The Breathing App for iPhone Review
The Breathing App for iPhone is inspired by resonance. It is a state that happens when our heart rate, heart rate variability, blood pressure, and brainwave function come into a coherent frequency. Attaining such a state results in a calm, restful alertness and many other benefits. You can download The Breathing App for free of cost from iTunes App Store.
What is it about?
To understand how The Breathing App for iPhone works, you got to learn the science behind resonance. Resonance occurs spontaneously when you breathe at a rate of five to seven breaths per minute (instead of our usual 15-18). The effects of resonance supports the innate ability of our body, nervous system, and emotions to restore themselves through the balancing of the complementary branches of our autonomic nervous system, which control our heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, respiration, and many other automatic functions of the body. By breathing at resonance, we enter into an even balance between the two branches of our autonomic nervous system, the sympathetic (which moves us towards activity) and the parasympathetic, which moves us towards rest. The sympathetic branch is our accelerator, and speeds us up. The parasympathetic is our braking system, which slows us down. We alternate between these two every second of the day, with each breath we take. But in the present fast paced life, we tend to lean towards acceleration. With resonant breathing, you learn how to apply your brake at will, rather than being side-lined by anxiety, distractedness, or excess stress.
The Breathing App for iPhone has a well-designed UI that will help you practice resonant breathing. To start with, you got to choose a breathing ratio that suits your body. A clock counts up/down on the screen, and you got to inhale/exhale accordingly. A ‘how to use’ section details the use of the app. It also features a useful start guide, and an introduction to the science behind resonance. The quick start video gives you a demo of what resonance breathing is all about. The app is stable.
Conclusion
The Breathing App comes across as a useful tool in helping you de-stress, improve respiration and digestion, and other automatic functions of the body. If properly followed, said technique could improve your healthiness and wellbeing significantly. The UI design is largely user friendly. The start guide/video helps the first time users.
