Coherence Breath
A guided breath practice to support internal coordination
(7 minutes)
This guided practice uses gentle, paced breathing to support internal coordination between physiological state, attention, and emotional tone.
The approach is informed by research in psychophysiology and emotional regulation, including coherence-based models explored by organizations such as the HeartMath Institute, as well as broader research on breath pacing and autonomic regulation.
At Kula Paradise Academy, this practice is offered for educational purposes to support understanding of coherence as a lived, functional experience.
Purpose of This Practice
Under stress or emotional demand, breathing patterns often become irregular or shallow, which can contribute to increased physiological activation and mental reactivity.
This practice is designed to:
-
introduce gentle rhythm to the breath
-
support coordination between breath and attention
-
create conditions for steadier internal alignment
The intention is not to control the breath, but to allow pacing to support regulation.
What This Practice Supports
-
stabilizing attention through rhythmic breathing
-
reducing internal reactivity
-
supporting autonomic balance
-
creating conditions for coherence
Effects are often subtle and cumulative.
Consistency matters more than depth or intensity.
When to Use This Practice
-
during moments of emotional or mental strain
-
before conversations or decisions
-
when attention feels scattered
-
as a brief daily check-in
How to Engage
Find a comfortable seated or upright position.
Allow the body to be supported.
Bring gentle attention to the breath as it moves in and out.
Follow the pacing offered in the guidance without forcing depth or speed.
If attention drifts, simply return to the rhythm of breathing.

Research Context (Educational)
Research in psychophysiology suggests that coordinated breathing patterns can influence autonomic activity and support steadier emotional and attentional states.
Coherence-focused models explore how synchronized physiological rhythms are associated with improved self-regulation and internal stability.
Kula Paradise Academy references this research to support educational understanding of regulation and coherence, without making medical or performance claims.
Safety Note
If this practice brings up discomfort or feels overwhelming, stop and return attention to your surroundings.
Practices are optional and self-directed.ย Seek qualified professional support if distress persists.
Educational Scope
Kula Paradise Academy provides educational and developmental programs.
This practice is not therapy, counseling, medical treatment, or crisis intervention.
