!Panic Attack! 4-7-8 Calm Breathing Exercise | Fast Relief / No Intro | Guided Counting | Pranayama

Показать описание
When you need immediate help - This version skips the introduction and provides guided counting throughout to give you the most support. The 4-7-8 rhythmic breathing promotes relaxation and can be used in the event of a panic attack.

The goal is to calm your sympathetic nervous system, which controls the fight-or-flight response. The time needed will vary. Around 8 cycles are often recommended, however, ideally you will practice the exercise until your body relaxes.

NOTE: In this video, the 4-7-8 counting does not follow seconds (the pace is purposefully slower). There are other versions of the 4-7-8 exercise on this channel that have a faster breathing pace and versions that have a slower breathing pace. You should try them all to learn what works best for you.

If you tend to be a shallow breather, it’s common to feel a little lightheaded when you start taking deeper breaths. This sensation will pass as your body becomes accustomed to a greater flow of oxygen. You can always take a short break and resume the exercise once you feel normal. It is not necessary that your timing perfectly matches the video example. You can take shorter or longer breaths as long as you maintain the ratio - Inhale 4, Hold 7, Exhale 8. Also, try to keep your expectations realistic. Some days will be easier than others, but the more often you practice, the more effective the exercise becomes.

If you would like to try meditation, I encourage you to try the Hands-On Meditation technique. It's easier than traditional meditation.

I have done this 5min breathing pratice hundreds of times. Thanks a lot! Could you also make a 10min & 15min versions please? This is the best 4-7-8 breathing video on YouTube. The voice is calming and guiding at the same time!
