Breathe to Calm Down Your Nervous System

Breathe yourself to deep rest or sleep with this easy technique that allows your body and mind to melt and become still. The breathing ratio is 4-7-8, and it's a proven method to activate the "rest and digest" part of the autonomic nervous system, the so-called parasympathetic nervous system. Enjoy and sleep well.

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. 😊

Really great! I love the minimal cues. They kept me focused but didn't distract me

This was amazing. I was having an anxiety attack and listening to this really helped take me out of it. Thank you.

Great exercise! 🫶🏻

Love it. Quiet, even voice. No counting out loud. Subtle music. Perfect before sleep.
