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 🎧.

Sit comfortably. Breathe with the belly, without hurrying.

Where to focus: keep the breath in the belly. Hold your attention in the body.

How to breathe: inhale for 4 counts — exhale for 8, with no pauses. Then inhale again, without stopping.

The inhale doesn't need to be big. If it starts to feel tight, breathe smaller — same pace.

What matters here is that the exhale is twice the inhale. Follow the circle and don't force the pace.
