The science
Extended exhale breathing (4:6 ratio) activates the parasympathetic nervous system by stimulating the vagus nerve during the longer exhalation phase. The slower 10-second cycle reduces respiratory rate, lowering heart rate and cortisol. Combined with minimal narration and no physical cues, the protocol creates conditions for genuine rest within minutes.
Other Shift modes
Pair with movement
Combine breathwork with mobility or bodyweight training.
