In this practice, we explore the 4-7-8 breathwork technique, which consists of building up to an inhale for 4 counts, a hold for 7 counts, and an exhale for 8 counts.

This technique is found to be helpful in reducing anxiety and stress, calming the nervous system, and even helping with sleep.

That being said, as always, it's important to listen to the cues of your body (or to medical professional advice where holding the breath or longer exhales aren't recommended). It's a personal experience, and if it creates more feelings of anxiety or other undesired feelings, please don't force yourself here.
