Breathing Benefit
Techniques that help with nervous system regulation
A pattern of four equal phases—inhale, hold, exhale, hold—to regulate the nervous system and calm the mind.
A calming practice where the inhale is 4 counts, the breath is held for 7 counts, and the exhale is 8 counts, promoting parasympathetic activation.
Focuses on fully engaging the diaphragm and abdominal muscles to achieve deeper, slower breaths, maximizing oxygen exchange and promoting relaxation.
A breath practice involving a gentle constriction in the back of the throat on both the inhale and exhale, creating an audible, ocean-like sound. It helps maintain rhythm, focus, and heat.
