Biofeedback and Control of the Nervous System
One of the most effective strategies for training control over the nervous system is biofeedback, specifically resonance frequency biofeedback. This technique involves using your biology as feedback during specific training exercises, such as breathing. By finding and training at your resonant breathing rate, you can amplify your heart rate variability and gain greater control over your nervous system. Research has shown that biofeedback practices like resonance frequency breathing can lead to subjective feelings of relaxation, reduction in anxiety, improved mood, motivation, and energy levels. The more you practice biofeedback, the more you can condition your response and increase baseline heart rate variability.
