Abstract
Music-Guided Resonance Breathing (MGRB) is a combination of a technique for consciously slowed breathing and attentive music listening in health care contexts. MGRB is intended for clinical application to reduce anxiety and stress in patients undergoing strenuous medical treatment. The article sets out the basic principles and effects of resonance breathing and describes the development process of MGRB in form of an exploratory sequential mixed-methods study. Music therapy experts, healthy subjects and a professional composer have contributed to the research, aiming to understand the optimal musical characteristics of MGRB and anticipating feasibility as well as effects on the psychological and physical states of future patients. The results encourage to conduct a controlled clinical trial with MGRB.
