Try This: 4-7-8 Breathing for Calming Your Nervous System
Manage episode 492001436 series 3669289
In this short guided practice, we’ll use the 4-7-8 breathing technique—a simple way to help slow your heart rate, calm anxious thoughts, and support your nervous system when things feel overwhelming. I’ll count each breath with you, so you don’t have to keep track. Whether you’re feeling panicked, wired, or just need a moment of stillness, this practice can help bring you back to center. Go at your own pace, and remember—you can stop or return to natural breathing anytime.
