Coherent Breathing (3 Minute Reset)

A short, guided practice to help you settle into a steady, rhythmic breath and gently regulate your nervous system. Coherent breathing uses a smooth, even pace to support balance in the body, often around five to six breaths per minute.

In just three minutes, this practice offers a quick reset—helping to soften mental noise, ease tension, and reconnect you with a more grounded state. There’s nothing to force here, just a gentle returning to rhythm.

Helpful for quick moments of stress, overwhelm, or when you need to pause and recalibrate.

Transcript

Slow, Steady breaths. Five in, Five out. Create something called cardio-respiratory coherence. This means that your heart rhythm and your breathing rhythm fall into synchronization. Your nervous system shifts towards safety. Your brain steadies. Emotional intensity drops. This is you taking care of yourself and reminding your system how to regulate. Let's start. Inhale, Two, Three. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. This is a human moment. And I am here for me right now. I don't have to fix anything right now. Just be with these numbers and the breath. Breathing is enough right now. I am soothing and healing my body. I don't have to be stronger than I am. This is a human moment. And I am here for me right now. Exhale 2 3 4 5 Inhale 2 3 4 5 Exhale 2 3 4 5

Dear Reuben, thanks you for this calming and relaxing meditation. So short, yet so effective- helped me to focus and gave me a little peace of mind 🙏❤️

That was wonderful! It was a perfect reset! Thank you!

Good morning Reuben! It was perfect for me just now. I could fall into the rhythm quite comfortably and felt calm and in control of myself. Forever, Tanusree ❤️💕

Shorter version of previous 5 breathe breathing. I love that I am in the moment, in the now when I do it. Not longer enough to send me to sleep !
Will have to resort to one of your sleep meditations 🤣
