I'm applying deep pressure here to relax your sympathetic nervous system. It'll decrease your metabolic rate. You'll try to resist it but eventually you will feel your pulse rate slow. You'll breath will come easier.
Cows are squeezed tightly in the shoot before they are slaughtered. The shoot applies intense pressure to decrease pulse rate, metabolic rate, and muscle tone. It calms them down. The same principles apply to me--a hugging machine is used to relax the sympathetic nervous system. It slows the heart.
