Coherent Breathing for Calm: Step-by-Step

Coherent breathing gently balances the autonomic nervous system. Practice with care and never strain.

Timing

Start with 5 seconds in, 5 seconds out; or simply longer exhales.

Steps

1. Sit or lie down comfortably.
2. Place attention on the belly; allow soft, even breath.
3. Lengthen the exhale gradually; if dizzy, return to natural breathing.

Safety: Consult healthcare professionals for respiratory or cardiac conditions.
