Guided Breathing

Paced breathing is one of the few regulation tools that works on the nervous system directly and in real time: a longer exhale engages the parasympathetic brake, and a steady rhythm gives attention one clear thing to follow. This tool guides the rhythm for you. Nothing you do here is recorded.

The Tool

Choose a breathing practice

Select the practice that best matches what you need right now.

Keep the breath gentle and comfortable. If you feel dizzy, short of breath, or more anxious, stop and return to normal breathing.

One honest note: paced breathing regulates the moment, not the pattern underneath it. If the same states keep returning, that pattern is what structured therapy works on.
