About these patterns
- Box breathing (4-4-4-4): inhale 4s, hold 4s, exhale 4s, hold 4s. Used informally as a calming technique.
- Relax (4-4-6): inhale 4s, hold 4s, a longer exhale of 6s.
- 4-7-8: inhale 4s, hold 7s, exhale 8s — a longer, slower pattern.
This tool is a visual pacing aid only. It makes no health claims and is not a substitute for medical advice — if you have a breathing or heart condition, check with a healthcare professional before trying breathing exercises.
