Through both Practices reduced the breathing rate of the study participants to  6 breaths per minute, which is less than half the usual average

In the the study, the rosary was prayed with the Hail Mary recited in Latin Latin, with one person taking the part of the priest and another that of the congregation the other the part of the congregation. The mantra chosen was the Buddhist "Om mani padme om" was chosen as the mantra. The 23 participants neither knew about the aim of the investigation nor were they aware of the mantra Of the study, nor had they been taught the mantra beforehand in a special chant Chant, so that no distortions could arise from this bias. The study also measured the effect of free conversation on breathing on breathing. Here, too, a slight reduction in frequency could be Frequency, but the breathing did not settle into such a regular rhythm as it did rhythm as with mantra and rosary prayer. Thanks to the The latter, which is synchronised with the other rhythms of the body, wellbeing rhythms of the body, well-being and receptivity are promoted, according to the authors of the Authors of the study.
