Enjoy deep relaxation and increase lung capacity with this ten minute version of the 4-7-8 breathing technique. The breaths gradually slow and extend to an ideal calming pace.
4-7-8 rhythmic breathing is a core part of many meditation and yoga practices as it promotes relaxation and can also be used to help you fall asleep in a shorter period of time. The goal is to calm your sympathetic nervous system, which controls the fight-or-flight response.
NOTE: In this video, the 4-7-8 counting does not follow seconds (the pace is purposefully slower). There are other versions of the 4-7-8 exercise on this channel that have a faster breathing pace and versions that have a slower breathing pace. You should try them all to learn what works best for you.
If you tend to be a shallow breather, it’s common to feel a little lightheaded when you start taking deeper breaths. This sensation will pass as your body becomes accustomed to a greater flow of oxygen. You can always take a short break and resume the exercise once you feel normal. It is not necessary that your timing perfectly matches the video example. You can take shorter or longer breaths as long as you maintain the ratio - Inhale 4, Hold 7, Exhale 8. Also, try to keep your expectations realistic. Some days will be easier than others, but the more often you practice, the more effective the exercise becomes.
// STRUGGLING TO TAKE A DEEP BREATH?
If you are having difficulty taking a deep enough breath to complete the 4-7-8 exercise, you may wish to begin with a simple video that teaches proper abdominal breathing.

I've been shocked how well this helps. I've been in such a bad and depressed mood since coming to college. After one session I noticed a shift. I wasn't anxious anymore and have been laughing and enjoying the world again. I don't know if anyone else has gotten such a dramatic shift, and I highly doubt it's the placebo effect (I've done plenty of meditation exercises and have never had so quick and dramatic of a shift). Thanks so much for making this video! :)

@@HandsOnMeditation I tried it yesterday and I really enjoyed it! I'm not sure but were the later counts a bit slower than the earlier counts? The parts I love about the panic attack version are the small moments of encouragement - I love it so much that my partner and I always say "you're doing a good job" to each other 😄. I would love to hear those in the additional versions. I typically do a breath work exercise for about 10-20 minutes each morning or as needed so this 10 minute version will be very useful in my daily routine! Your 4-7-8 exercises are the only ones I listen to and have helped me for 1+ year in gaining control of my symptoms. I am so grateful! ❤

There are versions of the exercise on this channel that are shorter. You don't have to push yourself. Just work with a length that is comfortable for you. It will probably change a little each day anyway.

Thank you. Exhale out mouth or nose? Is there a different physiological response with each?

@HandsOnMeditation 24 күн бұрын

With this exercise inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth. Yes, there is a different physiological effect. The exhale is where you fully let go and relax. It’s easier to do this through your mouth. Inhaling through your nose is the most natural and beneficial way to take in air.

Aren't these times all 2-3 seconds longer than 4/7/8 seconds?

@jjsunshine 10 ай бұрын

You are interpreting it as 4 s then seven seconds then eight seconds however some people take 4 7 8 as a ratio, so the absolute time is not specified..

imagine leaving a bookmark on a video that just counts to the same numbers over and over again. nobody needs a tutorial.

Great video, anybody else feel like the pauses between numbers got bigger or is that just a side effect of calming down?

@HandsOnMeditation 5 ай бұрын

In this version, the pauses are extended as the exercise goes on to encourage relaxation.

Thanks. While holding the breath, do we have to close the nostrils with fingers?

No. It’s a gentle exercise. Just try to maintain the pace but no worries if you are a little off.

I read that we are suppose to only do maximum 8 reps cycles of this kind of breathing. Any one know more info of this? Thanks.

I've never seen any specific rationale for this. You should listen to your body and do what works for you.

@@HandsOnMeditationit's Dr Weil the creator of the 478 breathing who says that. Think he mentioned it on this video he created to. Can you let me know why he would suggest maximum 8 reps? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pp6WnbyBqJPPYp8.html

@HandsOnMeditation Жыл бұрын

I really don't understand his advice. I do more than eight reps of 478 breathing, along with many others. In fact, I did the 10 minute version on this channel earlier today. I had rotator cuff surgery last week and haven't been doing my usual routine so it was an easy exercise to start. During the exercise I felt wonderful.

@logophile512 Жыл бұрын

@@HandsOnMeditationwatched a video where he said to never do more than 4 breath cycles of this and start at twice a day for a month. I didn't understand that either- he didn't explain why. I've done this for many more than 4 breath cycles. Sometimes I've been so anxious that I couldn't get my breathing to naturally slow down even after doing it for a long time, but usually it does slow down and there's a calming effect. One of the obstacles for me is I have a lot of body pain all the time and that often includes my neck and back, so taking the deep breaths and holding it can hurt a bit. 😥 By the way I really like this video, very calming voice.

I find it difficult to inhale for 4”. 3” is best for me. Same for Exhale 10” would be better for me. Then I tend to yawn after doing it once or twice. My breathing habits are really bad. Almost constantly having short breaths and breathing with the chest. This breathing technic works though.
