Breathing Exercises for Stress & Calm - Relaxation Me

Your breath is the one dial you always have. Slow it, shape it, lengthen the out-breath — and the body often follows within a few cycles.

Techniques in Breathe

Breathing exercises for stress relief and nervous system regulation — physiological sigh, resonance breathing, box breathing, 4-7-8, panic protocol, and more.

Techniques

• Emergency Calm Breathing Exercise — Use a brief guided breathing reset for acute stress, anxiety spikes, and panic moments.
• Physiological Sigh Breathing Exercise — Practice the physiological sigh breathing technique: two short inhales followed by one long exhale for a fast stress reset.
• Resonance Breathing Exercise — Practice resonance breathing at about 5.5 breaths per minute to support calm, heart rate variability, and stress recovery.
• Box Breathing — Follow equal inhale, hold, exhale, and hold intervals for structured stress regulation.
• 4-7-8 Breathing — Practice the 4-7-8 breathing technique with a longer exhale to support sleep preparation and lower arousal.
• Alternate Nostril Breathing — Alternate airflow through each nostril in a steady rhythm for focus and calm.
