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, shoulders down.

Where to focus: keep the breath in the belly. Hold your attention in the body and notice how your state changes.

If seven seconds is not enough, draw the exhale out further. It differs from person to person.
