Customize the breathing pattern, set sleep timers, listen with the phone locked. Backgrounds coming soon to the app. Enjoy this deep yogic breathing for anxiety. This is the 6-1-8-4 technique. Inhale 6 seconds, Hold 1 seconds, Exhale 8 seconds, Hold 4 seconds The slow breathing pattern and breath holds will gradually make you feel more relaxed. Breathe in through your nose gently. You can exhale gently through your nose, or it may feel easier to exhale through your mouth like you're blowing out a candle. If you run out of air or your lungs fill up too quickly, try to breathe more gently on the next cycle. Or try my app which lets you customize the breathing cycle to what feels best for you. Deep yogic breathing, or pranayama, induces a calming effect by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. This practice stimulates the vagus nerve, triggering the "rest and digest" response, leading to reduced heart rate, blood pressure, and stress hormone release. The rhythmic nature of pranayama also promotes mindfulness, diverting attention from stressors and fostering inner calm. This combined physiological and psychological impact makes deep yogic breathing a tool for stress reduction. Subscribe for daily breathing exercises.
