Breathing-based meditation practices may be particularly beneficial for PTSD given that it is a stress disorder characterized by hyperarousal, autonomic dysfunction, negative affect, and difficulties with emotion regulation (American Psychiatric Association,2013; Sack, Hopper, & Lamprecht, 2004). Respiration and emotion are tightly coupled processes with bidirectional influence and breathing interventions have boosted emotion regulatory processes in healthy populations. They have also normalized parasympathetic activity in anxious populations not suffering from PTSD and in healthy populations with experimentally induced anxiety.
