This is a calming practice each nite before bedtime. I enjoyed how each of the days suggestions were rolled together in the final teaching to become one well rounded practice. Thank you for your time in creating this course. 🙏🏽✨

This is good for my morning anxiety. It helped calm down my nervous system. I’ll use it in combination with your excellent box breathing exercise. Thank you Emil, for another helpful exercise for those of us with an overactive amygdala due to PTSD. 😊

Amazing! I was only able to hold until 3:10 but will continue to come back to this practice. I loved it!

Didn’t seem like five minutes and knocked out the anxiety I was feeling. Nice. Thanks.

I’ve been meditating and employing breathwork for years and have an anxiety disorder which can be very debilitating. I use breathwork a lot in my daily life but have never really done a basics course before. This was a great reminder of the different states we can encourage by employing the breath in subtly different ways as and when needed - whilst being mindful to be gentle with the breath itself. Thank you Emil for this well-paced informative and practical reintroduction to breathwork.

This was the first meditation I have done with you. I am looking forward to starting a breathwork course from your catalog. I appreciated the background music and the encouragement to be playful. I recognized the opportunity to increase the depth and length of my breath with the gentle timers. Thank you for sharing so many practices on Insight Timer. 💫

I did this straight after your double inhale exercise as I needed to calm down after a triggering/distressing experience. Both of the exercises helped a lot. Thank you Emil for continuing to upload new breathwork exercises to help us come back into regulation. ❤️
