I always assumed that effect was purely physiological. When you breathe the pressure in your chest changes. Those pressure changes result in slightly shorter or longer times to fill the heart chambers before the contraction ejects the blood.

That may explain it then. And I thought I was on to something..

During mokuso next time I'm going to breathe normally instead of deeply meditatively and see if my pulse stills slows.
