Breathe and relax

Follow the glowing sphere as it swells and shrinks, and let your breathing settle into its slow, steady rhythm.

HeartMind
Breathe and relax

What it works on

Self-regulation through paced breathing. The sphere sets a slow rhythm and your breath follows it, with nobody counting out loud.

For the player who struggles to settle after a change of activity, a loss, or a busy room. Slow breathing at about six breaths a minute is one of the best-supported ways to bring the body down.

Start with the even pattern for a couple of minutes and try the longer holds once that feels easy. Use it before something hard, or as the place to go when a session gets too much.
