This 5-minute paced breath animation guides you in "turning" two of the "dials" from the Rebel Human® FIVE DIALS approach to personal autonomy. Simply inhale as the image expands and exhale as the image contracts. 

Doubling the length of your exhale in relation to your inhale slows your heart rate and activates the relax and repair branch of the autonomic nervous system. Focusing your eye gaze on a central image reduces your interpupillary distance and activates the focus chemicals in your brain such as acetylcholine. Turning these two "dials" in this specific way shift you into a calm + focused brain state, the sweet spot for any type of learning endeavor.
