Had Morgan not spent the episode wanting to die, then it would be easier to understand why he was so annoyed at Victor. Research from Brigham Young University showed positive outcomes for heart rate variability, reduced blood pressure response to stress, and a more positive mood.’ 8. Long exhalingDemonstrate how to play the game. With the feather in your palm, put your hand up towards your face, and blow really gently onto the feather.
