A longer exhale

A gentle breath with a longer out-breath. No holding. No forcing.

If controlling your breath makes you more panicky, stop. Use Feet on the floor instead. Some bodies do not like breath exercises, and that is allowed.

How stirred up is your body? You can skip this.

Breathe in through the nose if you can, and out a little longer. Four breaths is about a minute. Stop the moment it feels wrong.

And now? Optional.
