🌬️ 4-7-8 Breathing Timer

How It Works

The 4-7-8 technique, developed by Dr. Andrew Weil, activates your parasympathetic nervous system and forces your heart rate to slow down.

• Inhale quietly through your nose for 4 seconds
• Hold your breath for 7 seconds
• Exhale slowly through your mouth for 8 seconds

Start with 4 cycles and work up to 8. Practice twice daily for best results.

Tips for Best Results

• Sit or lie down in a comfortable position
• Place the tip of your tongue behind your upper front teeth
• Exhale through your mouth making a whooshing sound
• Practice on an empty stomach for maximum effect
• Use before sleep, during stress, or anytime you need calm
