Balancing Breathing With Sound (Ratio 6:2:6:2)

Just follow the different sounds: breathe in for a count of 6, hold the breath for a count of 2 (during the silence) and breathe out for the count of 6. By lengthening our inhales and exhales we’re able to stimulate the vagus nerve, which activates the parasympathetic nervous system. It helps us move out of the space of stress and anxiety, centre into our body and establish more possibilities for clarity and for ways to move forward in overwhelming situations.
