Your racing pulse, tight chest, and late-night worry spirals aren't "all in your head." They're written in your heartbeat. Modern stress stamps chaotic rhythms on your cardiovascular system—and your body remembers every ping. This short, science-packed audiobook shows you how to erase that chaos and teach your heart a brand-new song of calm.

In this fast audiobook you'll learn to:

Co-Herent-Breathe in 60 seconds – the 5-in / 5-out rhythm that spikes heart-rate variability (HRV) and drops blood pressure on the spot.

Palm-Over-Heart Reset – 20 seconds of self-touch that releases oxytocin, lowers cortisol, and tells your nervous system, "We're safe."

Walk It Down – the 1 000-step micro-walk protocol Harvard calls a "stress flush," perfect after tense meetings or bedtime battles.

Heartfelt Words Ritual – the 4-minute gratitude script proven to cut inflammation and reboot mood.

Night-Time Surrender Drill – 4-7-8 breathing + hands-open prayer that turns "what-ifs" into deep, restorative sleep.

7-Day Scorecard – track waist, resting pulse, and mood to see real-time proof your new rhythm is working.

Built from cutting-edge HRV, oxytocin, and sleep research—but delivered in the warm voice of author Maria Davis—this pocket guide swaps overwhelm for simple, do-it-now wins. No medical jargon, no hour-long meditations. Just tiny habits you can slip between emails, carpools, or couch time.

Grab your earbuds and two fingers for a quick pulse check. A calmer, brighter life is only one heartbeat away.
