This guided deep breathing meditation guides you through a 5.5-second inhale and 5.5-second exhale. It's a simple, evidence-based way to support heart rate variability (HRV), reduce stress, and balance your nervous system.

Just follow the visual and audio cues:
• Breathe in for 5.5 seconds
• Breathe out for 5.5 seconds
• Repeat for several minutes and notice how your body begins to relax

This even-paced breath helps synchronize your respiratory and cardiovascular systems, making it a powerful daily practice for calm, focus, and emotional regulation.

Should you breathe through your nose or mouth?
Go with what feels comfortable and relaxing — but here’s what many people find helpful:
• Breathe in gently through your nose
• Breathe out through your mouth, like you’re softly blowing out birthday candles — it helps slow the exhale
• Or simply breathe in and out through your nose if that feels better for you

Try to breathe with your diaphragm.
Place one hand on your chest and the other on your belly. As you inhale, let your belly gently rise under your hand while keeping your chest as still as possible — that means your diaphragm is doing the work. Then exhale slowly through your mouth and feel your belly fall. The hand on your chest should stay mostly still throughout the breath.
