In this beautiful session, 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 relax. It’s one of the fastest and most effective tools to reduce anxiety, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with the present moment—whether you're having a stressful day at work or life just feels overwhelming and overstimulating.
