Every technique, one timer

All 6 run on the same timer: pick a pattern, press start, follow the dot.

• Box breathing

  Four equal phases: in, hold, out, hold.

  4-4-4-4 seconds

• 4-7-8 breathing

  A short inhale, a long hold, a longer exhale.

  4-7-8 seconds

• Coherent breathing

  Even in and out, no holds, six breaths a minute.

  5-5 seconds

• Diaphragmatic breathing

  Slow belly breaths, the exhale longer than the inhale.

  4-6 seconds

• Physiological sigh

  Two inhales back to back, then one long exhale.

  3-1-6 seconds

• 4-6-8 breathing

  Like 4-7-8, with the hold a second shorter.

  4-6-8 seconds

How it works

1. Pick a technique. Each one is a pattern of timed phases.
2. Press start. The dot goes once around the circle per cycle, one arc per phase — the longer the phase, the longer the arc.
3. Follow the dot and the tone. The sound keeps the pace when your eyes are closed.
