Resonance breathing 4–6
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 🎧.
What it works with: the exhale here is longer than the inhale — and a longer exhale settles you faster than a deeper breath does. The pace is slow, about six breaths a minute, but the inhale and the exhale are not equal to each other.
Sit comfortably and lengthen the spine without strain.
How to breathe: a smooth inhale through the nose for four seconds — a soft exhale through the nose or slightly parted lips for six seconds. There are no holds between them.
Where to focus: watch not the depth of the inhale but that the exhale always stays longer than the inhale. Stay with the pace of the circle and notice everything inside gradually slowing.
Don't try to fill the lungs. Breathe quietly, lightly, without effort.
