4-7-8 Breathing

Dr. Andrew Weil's technique uses a 4-second inhale, 7-second hold, and 8-second exhale to activate your body's natural sedation response. Often called "the natural tranquilizer" because of how quickly it induces sleepiness.

Alternate Nostril Breathing

An ancient pranayama technique that alternates airflow between left and right nostrils. Balances the two hemispheres of your brain, lowers blood pressure, and creates a calm focus that feels distinctly different from other breathing methods.

Box Breathing

Four equal phases of 4 seconds each — inhale, hold, exhale, hold. Used by Navy SEALs to maintain calm under fire. The symmetry resets your autonomic nervous system faster than almost any other breathing technique.

Coherent Breathing

Five seconds in, five seconds out. No holds, no complexity. Six breaths per minute — the exact rate that synchronizes your heart, lungs, and blood pressure into a state researchers call "physiological coherence." The simplest powerful breathing technique that exists.

Why Breathwork

"The breath is always with you. It is a faithful friend that you can always return to to anchor yourself in the present moment."

— Jon Kabat-Zinn

How to approach your practice

Consistency is more important than duration. Five minutes of dedicated practice every day will yield more profound results than an hour once a week. Be gentle with yourself, allow distractions to pass without judgment, and remember that the goal is not perfection, but simple awareness.
