The only thing that really senses in the other direction would be something like cyclic hyperventilation. And interestingly, when we had people just do five minutes of meditation, which during which, of course, they are breathing, but they're just allowing their breathing to progress. There were reductions in the same sorts of markers of stress that I described, but not as significant as breathing.
