A Micro Practice For Nervous System Regulation

Most people are surprised by how quickly the body begins to soften — often in just a few breaths. This 5-minute recording guides you through the Straw Breath, an evidence-backed simple micro-practice you can use anywhere to calm the nervous system and release tension. Once you’ve learnt it, the practice itself takes less than 60 secs. You’ll be guided to slow the exhale and let the breath move softly across the lips, sending a clear message of safety to the body. Use it when the jaw tightens, when the queue feels too long, when you catch yourself rushing or holding your breath. Each time you practise, you’re gently rewiring your system toward calm. Small moments of regulation, repeated often, become the quiet foundation of lasting change.
