Life Relaxation hack ->

Breathing *out longer than in* is a guaranteed way to relax 🙏

It forces your sympathetic nervous system (fight/freeze/flight) to switch to your parasympathetic nervous system, promoting. relaxation, recovery, digestion and a myriad other processes necessary for good mental and physical health.

It usually takes just 1-3 minutes to experience the calming, but can be much more depending on how stressed/anxious/triggered you were when you start.

💜 A great basic start is breathing in through the nose for 4, hold for 7 and out for 8, enjoy! https://v.nostr.build/AaDrO.mp4

Good morning ✌️🧡

"Out longer than in" 🙌

Observation of the breath comes before control of the breath. At first, your breath is volitile. Ride the waves. Yawn, clear your throat, open your eyes, etc. but always come back to watch your next breath. Your lungs know how to breathe if you let go of them.

When the breath is calm and steady, you can take control and start doing the counting exercises.
