4-7-8 Calm Breathing

The 4-7-8 breathing technique is a powerful tool for calming your nervous system and mind.

Developed by Dr. Andrew Weil, this simple practice can help reduce anxiety, manage stress, and even help you fall asleep faster. The technique works by creating a natural tranquilizing effect on your nervous system, slowing heart rate and reducing tension.

Regular practice of this breathing pattern can help strengthen your respiratory system, promote better oxygen circulation, and create a habit of mindful response rather than stress reaction. It takes just one minute to experience the calming effects.
