What's inside

  1. Box breathing

    In for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4. One minute to slow a racing heart.

  2. The long sigh

    A double breath in and a long, slow sigh out. Thirty seconds to release tension.

  3. 5-4-3-2-1 grounding

    Use your five senses to come back to the present moment.

  4. Feet, hands, breath

    A one-minute body check-in for moments when you feel far away.

  5. 4-7-8 for sleep

    A gentle rhythm to help your body settle at bedtime.
