The 3 Cornerstones of B.R.E.A.T.H.E.

GUIDED IMAGERY

B.R.E.A.T.H.E. guides you through intrinsic and extrinsic visualizations that help reduce stress

CONTROLLED BREATHING

Controlled breathing triggers the body's mechanism for lowering blood pressure and heart rate

POSITIVE SELF-TALK

Optimism and positive outlook have been shown to lower stress and reduce cardiovascular risk

According to the American Heart Association...

Findings from studies to date on psychological health and cardiovascular disease (CVD) can be summarized as follows:

Psychological health is an important component of wellness/well-being for patients with or at risk for CVD

The mind, heart, and body are all interconnected and interdependent in a relationship that can be called the mind-heart-body connection

There is a substantial body of good-quality data showing clear associations between psychological health and CVD and risk

There is increasing evidence that psychological health may be causally linked to biological processes and behaviors that contribute to and cause CVD

The preponderance of data suggests that interventions to improve psychological health can have a beneficial impact on cardiovascular health

Consideration of psychological health is advisable in the evaluation and management of patients with or at risk for CVD

"No one is immune to stress, whether real or imagined."
