About these patterns
- Box breathing (4-4-4-4): equal inhale, hold, exhale, hold. Steadies the nervous system and sharpens focus.
- 4-7-8: a long, slow exhale that leans into the parasympathetic (rest) state. Good before sleep.
- Coherent breathing (5-5): about six breaths per minute, the pace linked with heart-rate variability.
- Calming (4-6): a gentle extended exhale to downshift without any breath-holding.
Breathe through your nose where you can, and keep it comfortable. If you feel lightheaded, return to normal breathing. This timer is a wellness tool, not medical advice. If you are pregnant or have a cardiovascular or respiratory condition, talk with your doctor before starting a breathing practice.
