Three Physiological Sighs

When stress is building, your chest feels tight, or you need to reset quickly.

Why it helps

A double inhale followed by a long exhale is one of the fastest ways to offload carbon dioxide and signal safety to your nervous system. Three rounds are usually enough to feel a shift.

How to practice

  1. 1

    Sit or stand comfortably and soften your shoulders.

  2. 2

    Inhale gently through your nose.

  3. 3

    Take a second, smaller sip of air on top of that inhale.

  4. 4

    Exhale slowly and fully through your mouth.

  5. 5

    Repeat two more times at your own pace.

  6. 6

    Pause and notice what's different in your body.
