. 4-8 Breathing | Trigger Your "Rest and Digest" Response
Ever wonder why you feel so relaxed after a big sigh? This 4-8 technique uses that same principle!
This video guides you through a long exhale (8 seconds) that is twice as long as your inhale (4 seconds).
This simple trick gently pings your Vagus nerve—the body's secret button for relaxation. When you activate your Vagus nerve, your brain automatically switches off the stress signal, making it easy to unwind, fall asleep faster, and wake up feeling refreshed. It's calm, simple, and the most effective way to ease tension without force.
Should you breathe through your nose or mouth?
Go with what feels comfortable and relaxing to you, but here's what many people find helpful:
- Breathe in softly through your nose
- Breathe out through your mouth, like you're softly blowing on hot food to cool it down
- Or simply breathe in and out through your nose if that feels better for you
Let your belly expand on the inhale and soften on the exhale. Try to keep your chest still. When you breathe out, let your shoulders drop and relax. Keep the shoulders relaxed when you breathe in.
Breathe in deeply, but not so full it hurts. Aim for about 75% full. Calm, not forced.
How long should you do this?
Do what feels comfortable and relaxing to you. Most people enjoy between 1-20 minutes. If you're new to breathing exercises, just try it for a minute or two and see how you feel.
Breathing in a slow, steady rhythm helps signal safety to your nervous system. It activates the parasympathetic "rest and digest" response. Your muscles relax and your heart rate may go down. You may even notice your mind getting quieter. With regular practice, you can feel calmer, think clearly, and drift off to sleep more easily.
