Cyclic sighing
If you feel dizzy, hear ringing in your ears or start feeling anxious, stop and breathe the way you normally do. Safety and limits
Headphones make this easier 🎧.
Settle comfortably, sitting or lying down. Breathe softly, without trying to inhale as deeply as you can.
How to breathe: a calm inhale through the nose, then add a short second inhale through the nose. Then a long, smooth exhale through the mouth.
Where to focus: on every exhale, scan your body. Breathe out into wherever you feel tension.
The second inhale only tops up the first — it should not overfill the lungs. If you feel dizzy, return to natural breathing.
