Breathe with me 🌬️🤍
I thought I would record a video sharing some of the breathing techniques I use with clients in sessions.
Nice & simple ones you can do at home, at work, or even in the shop ✨
I haven’t added exact timings to this video, because l do not want you to feel pressure or forced ‘to get it right.’
Your breath should help you feel grounded & calm. 🧘🏼♀️
If you’re not sure where to start, a gentle guide is:
• Inhale for 4
• Hold for 4
• Exhale for 4
From there, see if you can slowly lengthen your out-breath. This is where the real shift happens.
A longer exhale helps activate the body’s calming response (your parasympathetic nervous system via the vagus nerve), signalling safety and allowing your heart rate to slow.
Over time, this can help you feel more regulated, grounded and in control.
There’s no “perfect” count, if holding your breath feels uncomfortable, shorten it or skip it altogether.
The most important thing is that your body feels safe.
🟥❤️🔺In the video I have shared shape breathing & you can use it anywhere:
• Trace a window frame → box breathing (great for anxiety & overwhelm) 🖼️
• Follow the edge of a sign → triangle breathing 🚩
• Imagine the breath filling up your heart, by breathing into your chest. (Let me know if you would like a video on chest/ belly breathing.) 💚
It becomes less about doing a “technique” & more about having a quiet tool you can return to whenever you need it.
📍Save this for when things feel a little too much, or come back to it as part of your daily reset 🤍
✨🫁And let me know which one felt best for you? Or is there another technique you’d like me to share next?
