5-5 Breathing (or longer exhale) in Sitting
This is simple but so effective for down regulating your nervous system, improving your potential for managing pain and stress, prepping for sleep, improving mental focus, and so much more.
Sit tall but active relax the entire body. Close your mouth, and just breath in and out of the nose. Shoot for a 5-5 pattern; 5 sec in, and 5 out. It might take a minute or two to slow down and naturally find this pattern. If it’s difficult then start with a 3-3 pattern.
To increase the potential for calming your nervous system, try stretching the exhale to 7, or even 10, seconds.
A daily practice of 5-10 minutes, or of course longer or multiple times per day, is highly recommended.

For some, just getting into this position and holding it for 10 or more seconds can be challenging. You might need to start here and progress gradually with regular practice. If you are stable and bala...
