your breath, your heartbeat

if you use your mouth you disconnect.
nose breathing locks you in. it’s the only way your breath and your heart move as one.

inhale through your nose and your heart rate rises.
exhale through your nose and your heart rate slows.
that rhythm is built into you.

why it matters
your blood carries oxygen more efficiently
your circulation improves with every steady cycle
stress signals drop and recovery signals rise
your focus holds longer without burning out

five and a half in.
five and a half out.
nose only. steady and controlled.

this isn’t about practicing calm in a quiet room.
it’s about carrying a steady rhythm into your day, your training, your sleep.
once you claim it, you don’t lose it. it moves with you everywhere.
