48. Someone who is breathing at the rate of 22 breaths per minute with an average
heart beat above 100 and a 90% low brain coherence. This person is like an
emotional volcano, ready to burst at his sub-ordinates with a slightest disruption
of emotions. Many of his sub-ordinates are actually scared to approach him for
any issues or help. He is an unfriendly autocratic leader who is completely unaware
that this physiology has a greater impact on his psychology, emotions & actions.

49. Heart Rate – Free App to measure your heart rate

50. The same subject whose heart was beating at 100+, was instantly brought down
to 75 just by altering the way of breathing. We can learn to instantly reset / re-boot
ourselves by altering our way of breathing. Every breath we inhale impacts the
heart beat. The heart in turn impacts the brain. As mentioned by all the great yogis,
the way you breath determines which part of your brain will function and hence
determines your peak performance & capabilities.
