Guided breathing
Physiological Sigh
2 in · 1 top-up · 6 out
Inhale through your nose for about two seconds, then take a short second inhale through your nose for about one second to fill the lungs, then a long exhale through your mouth for about six seconds. No holds. About five cycles. A randomized trial comparing breathwork techniques found that exhale-focused cyclic sighing produced the largest improvement in mood at about five minutes a day.
Start when you are ready to follow the pace.
