4-7-8 Relaxing Breath

Dr. Andrew Weil’s relaxation pattern. Calms the nervous system and eases anxiety or sleep struggles.

The Science of Breathwork for Anxiety

Controlled breathing directly stimulates the vagus nerve, signaling your heart rate to slow down and reducing cortisol levels within minutes.

Breathing Techniques Included

  • 4-7-8 Technique: Developed by Dr. Andrew Weil, ideal for nighttime anxiety and easing into restful sleep.
  • Box Breathing (4-4-4-4): Used by tactical professionals and athletes to restore laser focus and calm under acute pressure.
  • Deep Balance (5-5): Equal length respiration to improve heart rate variability (HRV).

Pair breathwork with reflective journaling

Journaling after breathwork helps lock in emotional clarity when your mind is calm and grounded.
