4-7-8 Breathing For Stress And Anxiety

Developed by Andrew Weil, M.D. the 4-7-8 breathing method works with your body’s central nervous system to reduce stress and promote a feeling of calm. The practice works by increasing the ratio of exhalation to inhalation, which causes a parasympathetic response that slows the heartbeat and lowers blood pressure. As such this will give rise to a sense of calm if done when you are feeling neutral and alleviate symptoms of stress if done when feeling anxious.

Perfect short exercise to get familiar with the 4-7-8 breath.

Thank you 🙏That helped me so much and I feel much calmer. I just can’t hold my breath for as long as I have a low lung capacity so I do 4.4.8 . But it’s still having the same effect 🙏🙏🙏❤️because I’m doing a long exhale. !🙏🙏🙏🦋🦋🦋

Your guidance is easy to follow and comforting. This will now be a regular practice in my day. Thank you🍃
