FAQ

FAQ

How do you do 4-7-8 breathing?

Breathe in through your nose for 4 seconds, hold for 7 and breathe out slowly through your mouth for 8. People often use it before sleep or to unwind. The circle and the counter keep time for you.

When should I use box or resonant breathing?

Box breathing repeats inhale, hold, exhale and hold for 4 seconds each, which helps when you need to focus or calm down before a presentation. Resonant breathing is 5 seconds in and 5 out with no pauses, easy to keep up for a long time.

What if I feel dizzy?

Stop right away and breathe normally. This guide is a relaxation aid and isn't a substitute for medical care.
