Enjoy this breathing exercise to calm anxiety. This breathing pattern is 4-4-6-2.
Breathe in 4 seconds
Hold in for 4 seconds
Breathe out 6 seconds
Hold out for 2 seconds
You can breathe in and out through your nose, or you may find it easier to breathe out through your mouth like you are blowing out a candle.
Exhale is longer than the inhale, which can gradually make you feel more calm and relaxed.
Taking long, slow breaths out has many benefits for both your body and your mind. When you take longer breaths out, you activate your “rest and digest” nervous system and calm down your “fight or flight” nervous system. This helps you feel less anxious, sleep better, and relieve anxiety.

Thank you!
I have severe ptsd and woke up from an extremely bad nightmare.
Thought I was having an allergic reaction . I was shaking, couldn’t breathe, stomach hurt, felt like my throat was closing, almost peed my pants. dizziness, rapid breathing. I’m still shaking but all my other symptoms have stopped.
Make sure you take in as much air as you can when inhaling and expell all air when exhaling works a treat it might come back but keep doing this until it subcides in through the nose and out with the mouth
Worked so Good for me..but I hope I fall asleep now…Its 3am I came in bed at 11😢
This has calmed me down a server panic attack thank you God 🙏🫶💖
