Program Peace app for iPhone and iPad

This free app will guide you to optimize your breathing pattern. Breathing short, shallow breaths creates tension in the muscles of respiration, which drives anxiety. Almost everyone breathes in this way to some extent. By training you to become comfortable breathing deeper and longer, this app will help you eliminate the tension and reduce the negative emotions it causes.
Scientific studies have shown that paced breathing lowers blood pressure and heart rate and calms the mind. Research has also shown that breathing at longer intervals can improve mood, focus, and flexibility, increase athletic performance, reduce recovery time, mitigate fatigue, and help people get to sleep at night. This app is designed to help you take full advantage of those benefits. It also provides an easy-to-use interface without bloat, clutter, ads, sign-ins, in-app purchases, or full version upgrades.
Read about the science of optimal breathing. Select how long you want your inhales and exhales to be. Choose the duration of the optional pauses between them. Peruse the preset breathing rates to learn about various breathing methods. Practice the Program Peace exercises to build confidence, a positive mindset, and rehabilitate systems throughout your body.
Program Peace will introduce you to eight different principles of relaxed breathing and then encourage you to practice them while performing related exercises. Here are the principles:
• Breathe deeply (high volume): Breathe more fully, breathing most of the way in and out in a way that pushes the belly forward during each inhalation.
• Breathe longer (low frequency): Breathe at longer intervals in which each inhalation and exhalation lasts for more time.
• Breathe smoothly (continuous flow): Breathe at a steady, slow, constant rate.
• Breathe assertively (confident): Do not let social concerns or stressors conflict with the other rules.
• Exhale passively: Allow your breathing muscles to go limp during each exhalation.
• Breathe nasally: Breathe through the nose with nostrils flared.
• Ocean’s Breath: Relax the back of your throat and breathe as if you are fogging up a glass.
• Breathe with purity of heart: Knowing that you have only the best intentions, and that you exemplify the combination of nonsubmissive and nondominating, will infuse your breathing with peace.

This app is intended to be a companion to the Program Peace book, website, and self-care system but is also a fully stand-alone product. For more information, you can visit www.programpeace.com.
