Paced breathing

Breathe along with the circle. A longer out-breath than in-breath helps your body settle.

Sit or stand however is comfortable. Watch the circle. Breathe in as it grows. Breathe out slowly as it shrinks. If the pace doesn't suit you, breathe your own way and just watch.

Voice guidance

Breathe in for 4 seconds and out for 6 seconds, for about 1 minute.
