Calm breath is not just about inhaling air; it’s about inhaling intention. Enter the 4-7-8 technique: inhale for four counts, hold for seven, and exhale for eight. With this pattern, you create a calming rhythm that soothes your nerves and pushes away stress. But that’s not all; consider the art of square breathing. Inhale for four, hold for four, exhale for four, and pause for four. Every breath becomes a step to balance, a four-part rhythm that meets quietly.
