Brief Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia Practice

Practice long-exhale breathing while consciously thinking about slowing your heart rate on the exhale and increasing it on the inhale to train respiratory sinus arrhythmia, strengthen vagal pathways, and build vagal tone. Do this for 1–3 minutes or 1–5 minutes, either occasionally or daily.

You can actually train this by consciously thinking about slowing your heart rate while you exhale and consciously thinking about increasing your heart rate as you inhale. You can literally strengthen these pathways.
