What this video is about
Anxiety pushes the breath high and fast. In twenty minutes Bliss guides five patterns with enough rounds of each that your body can follow: calm breathing (4 in, 6 out), resonant breathing (about 5.5 in, 5.5 out), the physiological sigh, box breathing (4-4-4-4) and 4-7-8. Each is explained in one line, then counted for you with a ring to follow on screen.
Sit or lie down, breathe through your nose, keep every breath small and easy, and stop if you feel light-headed. This is not medical advice; for anything heavier than a rough day, talk to a doctor or counsellor.
The short version is five techniques in seven minutes. Written guides are on the breathing exercises page and in deep breathing for anxiety. In CalmSpace.ai, Bliss guides any of them by voice, free.
