4-7-8 Breathing Technique
The 4-7-8 breathing technique is a calming breathwork pattern designed to reduce anxiety and aid sleep by acting as a "natural tranquilizer" for the nervous system. Developed by Dr. Andrew Weil, it involves inhaling for 4 seconds, holding for 7 seconds, and exhaling for 8 seconds, directly influencing the autonomic nervous system to favor relaxation.
