5 Minute Breathing Technique To Reduce Stress & Anxiety

Huberman writes that "a Physiological Sigh is a pattern of breathing of two inhales, followed by an extended exhale. This pattern of breathing occurs spontaneously in sleep when C02 levels get too high but they can be done deliberately any time we want to reduce our levels of anxiety and calm down fast."

My little brother overdosed few days ago. This is the video I am using to cope with my grief. Thank you 🙏

[andrewsuarez]

My heart rate was at 126 after doing this breathing exercise my heart rate is now at 94 thank you so much I feel way better now 💯

[mikezen]

I find your version even better than that of the timer version provided in Dr Huberman’s channel. Thank you Mike. You are the best!

If you breathe in 100%, then breathe in again then exhale, it lowers your blood pressure significantly.

[davidprendergast]

I listen to your breathwork videos nearly everyday. They're great. Keep doing what you do!

[soranghaderi]

Thank you so much for this amazing breathing exercise always calms me down during panic attacks

[shayr]

I get anxious about my health & panic fairly often. In a podcast, Dr Hanscom believes anxiety as a nervous system issue. His first step to gaining some comfort is using breath. I tried this today with your help and I feel relief. Thank you for this video

Mike, your channel has assisted my life in so many ways. The breath work has given me energy. It takes away my stress and anxiety. It focuses me on a daily basis. Thank you. I will also buy a shirt soon.

[pedromalo]

Simple, direct and effective, love your style, thanks Mike.

[phoebewhitaker]

This is so lovely! There’s something so soothing about breathing alongside someone else.

[bazp]

Wow, what a nice calming sensation when exhaling, the longer the better for me. Think that coherant breathing has just found some competition on the relaxation front! Cheers Mike

[floridanativelh]

This is perfect. Not too long. Not too short. Just right 👍🏼

[peepsgacha]

Your voice is so calming and the way you say “together” is so calming and feels heart warming ❤

[theycallmedip]

Beautiful, thanks Mike. Ive found it to be so important to play with this as well. After doing this excercise with a pulse oximeter I've learned that gulping in as much air through the mouth into the lungs with the second inhale produces almost a kind of yawning feeling and it really causes the heart rate to plummet during the exhale.
Thanks for everything you do, you're genuinely such an inspiration in my life.
