Anyways.. I have reached my 10th session at Neurocore and was able to see my breathing and heart rate progress. They showed me my breathing/heart rate chart from the first day I came to Neurocore and my 10th session results. On your 11th session, they will sit down with you and compare these two breathing/heart rate charts to show you the progress you have been making.
You do this breathing exercise every time you go to Neurocore.
Here are my breathing and heart rate charts! (Sorry if you can't read my chicken scratch.. I'll try to explain it below in detail)
This first chart is the chart of my FIRST day at Neurocore. (Sorry this first one is kind of dull.. Wanted to write on it so had to scan it twice)
Let's look at the red and blue lines first.
The blue line represents my breathing pattern.. How fast or slow I am breathing during my breath, and how much time in between breaths I am taking. The pattern I drew in the white space is what breathing pattern you want to see. You can see here that the little "hills" are shallow breaths I took. It is too short of a breath and should be taking longer breaths in and out. My "hills" are not very consistent like it should be like the drawing shows.
Now the red line represents my heart rate. Your heart rate (red) line, and breathing (blue) line should be in sync with one another, or in other words making the same "hills" at the same time. If your heart rate and breaths are not working well together, this means you may need to improve this.
Now lets jump to the fat blue, green, and pink graphs...
Let's start with the blue graph. This represents (if you can't read my chicken scratch) the percent of time my heart functions slow... If you can see the number below the blue graph it reads 30.29%. That is my percent. Not the best here. This percent should be below 5% as you can see written.
The green graph represents the percent of how well my heart rate and breathing are working together. My percent is 51.43%. This number should be above 80% though. I have some work to do on this graph, too. (Come on heart rate and breathing! Work together!)
The pink graph represents the percent of how much my heart races. This one isn't too too bad. I'm at 16.78% here, and should be below a 5%
The graph to the right of it... I think is the average of all of those numbers? I'm not completely sure. She didn't really talk about that one.
Here is my graph as of my 10th session. It is MUCH more improved! (Plus this picture isn't dull, haha)
Why is it an awesome graph you ask?
Well... My breathing (blue) line and heart rate (red) line are in sync with one another which is awesome! Also, my breathing (blue line) pattern looks MUCH more like the drawn pattern like it is supposed to look. Bigger breaths in and out, no shallow breathing really.. Cool huh?
Looking at the fat blue graph I am still above 5%, but my percent has shot down to only a 11.28%... It used to be a 30.29%. I still need to get my heart functioning faster, which will only be a matter of practicing this as Neurocore.
Looking at the fat, not to mention high green graph, it is apparent that this graph is a lot higher than my initial graph shows. PLUS I am above a 80% like I am supposed to be with a 81.25%. My breathing and heart rate work together MUCH more than it did before. Yay!
Last but not least the fat pink graph shows an improvement with a 6.79% instead of a high 16.78%.. Still needs to be below a 5%, but I am so close! (Come on heart. Stop racing so much!)
This breathing exercise I do is helping take the stress level off my heart. It will help with my anxiety, and depression I have. Breathing is a very important when it comes to mental health.

Just wanted to show you the progress I have been making at Neurocore! Let me know if there's a question lingering about out there :-)
