4-7-8 Breathing Meditation For Deep Relaxation (4 Rounds)

This is a guided breathing meditation for deep relaxation. The 4-7-8 breathing exercise was developed by Dr. Andrew Weil. You’ll be inhaling for 4 counts, holding your breath for 7, and exhaling for 8. We’ll be doing four rounds. This is a powerful & accessible self-healing tool. Counting refocuses your attention & brings you back to the present moment, while deep, rhythmic breathing, helps your body find a state of deep relaxation and relief from stress, anxiety, insomnia and so much more.

Excellent!
Only quibble: I felt shortchanged by a second while inhaling, holding and exhaling as you began counts with “2.” No harm in adding “1.” It felt rushed.

Very soothing meditation! I was wondering why it is not recommended to go beyond 4 rounds? I found this to be very soothing and relaxing and could have gone longer.

I love this breathing!! I learnt it back in 2010 when I was deep diving into breathing exercises & healing, and dr Weil was a leader of wellness who was doing such great things in the world!!!
Your voice was soothing & the pace & structure of this meditation was just right!!
Thank you so much!!! ☺️
