Breathe in rhythm, live.
Pick a technique, start the timer, and follow the circle: it grows as you inhale, settles as you hold, and draws in as you exhale. Nothing to install, no account.

Three rhythms, three effects
- Coherent breathing
- Five seconds in, five seconds out, about six breaths a minute. The most-studied rhythm for settling down and quieting the mind. A few minutes is enough, any time of day.
- Box breathing
- Inhale, hold, exhale, hold: four equal counts. It steadies your focus right before a moment that calls for a cool head.
- 4-7-8
- A short inhale, a long hold, an even longer exhale. A breath that invites release, especially in the evening. Go at your own pace and never strain the hold.
Always breathe without straining. If you feel lightheaded, return to your natural breath. These exercises support your wellbeing; they don't replace medical advice or treatment.
