It is a simple process of focusing on the heart area and slightly slow down your breathing. By doing this it takes you out of your mind of overthinking or anxiety and brings you to the present moment. The heart and brain are also connected, so by focusing on the heart area, it sends signals to the brain and nervous system to calm down.
