Slowing Down your pulse?

[Nagual]

I am no expert but, just by taking long deep breaths, I can lower my pulse rate...  Maybe check some free-diving technics; some of these guys can get very descent low rates...

quote:Mayol was able to hold his breath for five minutes while motionless and four minutes when active, and in an interview with Diver in October 1980 said that the only people in the world capable of simulating the effects of pressure on the body were yogis, who could suppress respiration for up to 22 minutes.
    He took seriously his practice of meditation and the yoga breathing exercise pranayama to slow his heart rate and oxygen consumption. His normal pulse rate was 60bpm, but the medical establishment was astonished to discover that this would drop to 20bpm when diving.
    "Some yogis in India are able voluntarily to lower their pulse rates to one beat per minute," he said during the interview. "Unfortunately, I am a long way from achieving such remarkable feats, but before starting each new series of deep dives I go to India, to a place called Pondicherry, to train for two to three months with a yogi."
