What this video is about
Trying harder to sleep does not work, so this session gives the body a rhythm to follow instead. 4-7-8 breathing is in through the nose for four, hold for seven, out through the mouth for eight, slowly, like fogging a window. Bliss counts every cycle so you do not have to.
After six cycles the breath goes back to normal, softer than before. If the mind wanders to tomorrow, that is what minds do at night; come back to the next breath. The last minute is rain only. Play it in bed with the screen off.
The written version is the 4-7-8 breathing guide. In CalmSpace.ai the Sleep rhythm in Breathe together is the same count, guided by Bliss, free.
What happens in the video
- Name the night: the clock, the list for tomorrow, the maths on how much sleep is left.
- How 4-7-8 works, in one sentence.
- Six cycles, counted: in four, hold seven, out eight.
- Breath back to normal; nothing needs solving at this hour.
- Bliss stops talking; rain and your breath to the end.
