The common root of most calming breathwork
The simplest rule in all of breathwork: a longer exhale settles you. In for four, out for eight, and let the shoulders come down with it. Works anywhere, invisible in a meeting, and needs nothing but remembering to do it.
How to do it
- 1Inhale through the nose for four counts
- 2Exhale slowly for eight
- 3Let the exhale be soft, not forced
- 4Ten rounds
An experience, not a claim. Offered as a way to take a break. Away makes no health claim for it.
