Why breathe at a steady rhythm?
01
When stress speeds up your inner pace, gently counting breaths gives attention a concrete and repetitive task.
02
A commonly suggested rhythm is around six breaths per minute, such as five seconds in and five seconds out.
03
The rhythm is a guide, not a performance. If you feel uncomfortable or light-headed, return immediately to your natural breathing.
