4 7 8 Breathing For Nervous System Regulation

4 7 8 Breathing is a simple practice that creates an immediate impact on your body and mind. If you've been experiencing racing thoughts, agitation, or a sense of constant urgency, this practice is for you. The 4 7 8 breathing style will help regulate your nervous system from its sympathetic, high-alert response, and transition you towards the parasympathetic response, where you can tap into your own sense of safety and calm. This practice includes a reasonably long breath retention (7 counts), so if you have a history of trauma, you may need to discern whether breath retention is supportive for you or not. If not, I have some other beautiful breath practices available on my channel for you to try instead. Happy breathing, friends.

I like the tempo & how easy it is to follow.. Like someone else said, I feel like I could have gone for longer. Thank you!

Enjoyed your counting. Could have listened to it longer

Needed to calm down and this worked perfectly. Thanks!

Short but sweet! My only issue is that I could only hear the audio from the right channel.

UPDATE after reply below: Awesome! So glad I could help!

Wonderful session! Short, succinct and an excellent guide to 4-7-8 breathing. Grateful to have found this :)
