Practicing breathing to encourage respiratory sinus arrhythmia for one to five minutes can be beneficial for building mind-body connection in individuals struggling to access feelings of attachment.

“Whereas other people who are feeling challenged in accessing the feelings of attachment, and perhaps not functioning well as a consequence of that, might find that practicing breathing in order to encourage respiratory sinus arrhythmia, again, focusing on slowing your heart rate consciously while you exhale, and concentrating on increasing your heart rate as you inhale, even just as a brief practice of even just one to three minutes or one to five minutes, every once in a while or per day, that could be immensely beneficial in building this mind/body relationship.”
