Slow Paced Breathing for Deep Relaxation | 8–0–8–0 Guided Session (10 Min)

Take 10 minutes to downshift with 8–0–8–0 paced breathing: inhale for 8 seconds, exhale for 8 seconds, no breath holds. This slow, steady rhythm is a form of slow paced breathing—a category studied for its ability to reduce stress and support parasympathetic (“rest-and-digest”) activity, often reflected as improved heart rate variability (HRV). How to practice (follow the animation): Breathe in through the nose for 8 seconds (soft belly + ribs expansion) Breathe out slowly for 8 seconds (relaxed jaw/shoulders) Keep it smooth—no strain, no breath holds, no forcing Best times to use this: • Before sleep or a nap • After work / between meetings • When you feel anxious, overstimulated, or “stuck in your head” • As a daily HRV-friendly reset (especially when done consistently) Important note: If you feel dizzy, tingly, or uncomfortable, return to normal breathing and shorten the count (try 6–0–6–0) next time. If you have a respiratory or cardiovascular condition, practice gently and check with a clinician if you’re unsure. #breathwork #guidedbreathing #pacedbreathing #slowbreathing #nervoussystem #stressrelief #relaxation #hrv #vagusnerve #mindbody #sleepprep #anxietyrelief #meditation
