Join Audra in this 5-minute downregulating ritual, where she guides you through a 4-4-8 breath: inhaling in through the mouth for 4, holding for 4 (allowing that air to fill up your lungs as they expand), and exhaling through the mouth for 8, slowly and calmly coming down. Use this ritual whenever you feel nervous, stressed, overwhelmed, or panicked — or as the perfect pre-sleep ritual.
This breath helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system — your body’s natural “rest and digest” state — slowing your heart rate, calming your mind, and reducing cortisol levels. By extending the exhale, you signal safety to your brain, helping to regulate your nervous system, lower anxiety, and prepare your body for deep rest and recovery.
