Using the 4-7-8 breath, we can cultivate a sense of calm and cool anytime, anywhere. This breath practice is always accessible and works quickly to connect us to our body and our present moment experience.

The Quick Calm and Cool Breath

Using your breath as a guide, this practice creates an opportunity to receive those things you need, and to release what you no longer want to carry with you. While nourishing your body through the breath, you also can nourish your heart, soul, and mind through this guided mediation.

Receiving And Releasing Breath

The calm and cool breath is a practice of 4-7-8 breathing which allows us to tune into our body, notice our present moment experience, and connect with the breath to bring calm to our experience. It can be used to start the day with clarity, to bring ease to a moment of anger or sadness, to manage stress or anxiety, or simply to help us pause and notice.
