Feeling stress or anxiety? Having trouble focusing? Need a reset?
Try the 4-7-8 Breathing Method by Dr. Andrew Weil!
The 4-7-8 technique is simple to do and can be done at anytime. All it takes is a pause in the day to mindfully breathe.
Here is how it works…
Start by taking a deep inhale through the nose and expanding into the belly for a count of 4 seconds.
Pause and hold the breath for 7 seconds.
With a controlled exhale, breathe out for 8 seconds.
Repeat this cycle 5-10 times to bring the body out of the fight or flight mode and into a rest and reset state.
It is a great breathing method to perform in the evening before bed to bring on sleep.
