Breathing rhythms

Each rhythm is a count, in seconds, for breathing in, holding, and breathing out. If you are new to guided breathing, start with 3-1-6.

Choose a rhythm

Pick the one that feels comfortable. You can change it next session.

On your own

3-1-6
In for 3, hold for 1, out for 6. The gentlest rhythm and the best place to start.
4-4-4-4 (box breathing)
In for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4. Steady and focusing. Some people know it as tactical breathing.
4-7-8
In for 4, hold for 7, out for 8. A deeper wind-down. If the 7-second hold feels like a strain, switch to 3-1-6.
Deep inhale, breath hold
A deep breath in, then a hold. Try this only once you're comfortable with the others, and never force a hold.

Choose a setting

Eight places to breathe in. Pick whichever feels most calming to you.

On your own

Orb, Beach, Snow Monkeys, Garden
Natural and peaceful scenes.
Windmills, UFO, Tiki, Lake House
Playful and cozy scenes.

Stop if

You feel dizzy, lightheaded, or tingly
You have chest discomfort or feel more short of breath
You feel distressed or panicky while holding your breath

Breathe normally, take off the headset, and rest.
