Slow breathing is a simple way to calm down that many people use. The heart slows a little on each breath out, and Prana guides each breath so you only have to follow.
- Right now I feel picks a technique for the moment. Or choose one from the list; each card shows its shape, and the panel says how to do it and why.
- Length and pace: pick minutes or breaths, and make any pattern slower or faster while keeping its shape.
- Guides: the orb fills and empties with your lungs; the wave shows the breaths to come, so you can see a hold coming; words only is the quietest. The coloured line is blue for breathing in, green for breathing out and purple for holding.
- Eyes closed: the screen goes dark and a breath sound, tones or a bowl guide you. On most Android phones it can vibrate too.
- How you feel: say how tense you are before and after. Progress shows which techniques leave you calmer.
- Find your pace tries five slow paces and keeps the one that feels smoothest as Your pace.
- Breath test times a calm hold after breathing out. Do it now and then at the same time of day to see your own trend.
- Make your own pattern, with a top-up breath, holds, alternate nostrils or a pace that slows down by itself, and share it as a link.
- Keys in a session: Space pauses (and ends a hold), Esc ends, M sound, G changes the guide, E eyes closed.
Stay safe
Never practise breath holds or fast breathing in or near water, while driving, or standing up. Feeling a little light-headed or tingly can happen; slow down or breathe normally. If you are pregnant, or have heart or lung problems, epilepsy or high blood pressure, stay with the gentle techniques and ask your doctor about the rest. Breathing exercises can help you relax, but they do not replace care for a medical or mental health problem.
