This is a practical coherence breathing practice designed for real life. It’s especially helpful when your system feels overstimulated, scattered, or slightly revved up—but you don’t have the time or space to fully stop. We begin by gently meeting the breath where it is (maybe slightly panicky), then gradually settle into a steady 1:1 rhythm, extending from shorter counts toward a balanced 5:5 pace. This slow, even breathing pattern supports nervous system regulation and helps restore a sense of internal steadiness. Designed to be used while walking, driving, or moving through your day, you don’t need to sit still or close your eyes. When life gets loud, this pattern brings you back to steady.

Transcript

My name is Michelle.

I'm one of the co-owners at Bloom Mind & Body Co.

I expect that if you're listening to this recording,

It's because you are feeling a little chaos,

Maybe a little overwhelmed,

Maybe you're caught in that loop of anxiety.

Often when we're in that state,

We are over-breathing.

We're breathing fast and shallow,

And that does us no good.

This little session is designed to help you downshift out of that chaotic over-breathing and into something we call coherence breathing,

A nice,

Balanced,

Calm,

Clarifying breath pattern.

I'm just gonna walk you through it.

Sometimes it's easier than trying to count it all yourself.

So we're gonna start off over-breathing with a two-second inhale,

Two-second exhale.

It's never where you're gonna wanna stay.

And then I'm gonna slowly shift you towards that five-second inhale,

Five-second exhale.

You can stay here,

You can count five,

Five,

Inhale,

Exhale,

Or you can return back to whatever you were doing,

Hopefully a lot more calm and a lot less overwhelmed.

Thank you.

Thank you.
