Physiological sigh

Two breaths in, one long sigh out. Thirty seconds to steadier.

Ready

3 minutes

3:00

Stop and breathe normally if you feel dizzy.

What it is

A short in-breath, a second smaller sip on top, then a long sigh out through the mouth.

It is the fastest of everything here. Three or four rounds will take the spike off a stressful moment.

How to do it

  1. 1Breathe in through the nose.
  2. 2Sip a little more air on top.
  3. 3Sigh it all out through the mouth, unhurried.

Before you start

  • Keep it comfortable. Breath work should never feel like straining; shorten the counts before you force them.
