Calm Down Breathwork Ritual
3 Weeks of Calming Cortisol
•
7m 23s
Set to beautiful, calming pan pipes, Audra guides you through a rapid ritual—just 6 minutes of 4-7-8 breathing—designed to calm your nervous system, bring you back into your body, and create an instant sense of peace. The 4-7-8 breath works by activating the parasympathetic nervous system (your body’s built-in calm-down button). As you inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7, and exhale for 8, your heart rate begins to slow, cortisol levels drop, and your brain receives the signal that it’s safe to calm down. Enjoy whenever you need a rapid calm down experience.
