Counting the breath is a wonderful way to shift the mind to quiet down and calm the nervous system, especially when the exhale is longer than the inhale. This is a short practice on counting the breath with the rhythm of 4 (inhale) and 5 (exhale). However, even though this is not a long practice just by focusing on the breath in/out of the nose, then the rise and fall of the breath in the belly, and then this specific count of breath you will be instantly ready for bedtime and a peaceful night's sleep.

Emotional day

Panic attack earlier. Major change at work… wheels are turning. Scared. Medicated. Just need sleep.

Breathing

I was out with a friend and was about to watch a movie, but I had to leave early due to a panic attack. I came home and had a long shower and I listened to this afterwards. Breathing really does help me centre myself in a difficult position.

Calm

I really liked this exercise. The gentle rhythm of counting was very grounding and I felt myself becoming calmer as I practiced. I will definitely be using this exercise when I need to focus on sleeping.
