This technique is adapted from the work of the HeartMath Institute, (HeartMath.org) which is a group of doctors and psychiatrists who are studying heart rate coherence and its effect on physical and mental health. Start by bringing your awareness to your heart and as you do, imagine breathing deeply, in and out, as though from your heart. You might want to hold your hand over your heart to keep your awareness there as you breathe through it. Be sure your breathing is smooth,
