This practice is intentionally simple.
You don’t need perfect technique, consistency matters more.
When to use it:
- First thing in the morning (2–5 minutes)
- Before stressful conversations
- When you notice tension or mental noise
- Before bed if your system feels wired
How to do it:
- Inhale through the nose for 4
- Exhale through the nose for 6
- No breath holding
- Relax the jaw and shoulders
What to expect:
- Slower thoughts
- Reduced physical tension
- More space before reacting
If it feels boring, you’re probably doing it right.
