In a world that moves fast, it’s easy for your nervous system to slip into overdrive — without you even noticing.
This 3-minute breathing ritual is a simple, grounding tool to reset your body and return to center, wherever life takes you.
The 3-Minute Ritual
1. Find your seat.
Sit comfortably — on the floor, in your car, or even at your desk. Let your spine rise tall. Let your shoulders drop.
2. Breathe in for 4 counts.
Feel the air move down into your belly. Count slowly in your mind: 1… 2… 3… 4…
3. Hold for 4 counts.
Pause. Feel the stillness at the top of your breath. Notice the space you’ve created.
4. Exhale for 6 counts.
Let it go slowly, completely. The long exhale tells your body, “You’re safe now.”
5. Repeat for 3 minutes.
Let each breath take you deeper into yourself. Eyes closed. Jaw soft. Nervous system untangling, gently.
Why It Works
This practice, known as “resonance breathing,” helps regulate your vagus nerve — the superhighway between your brain and body that governs stress, digestion, and mood. Long, mindful exhales shift you out of fight-or-flight and into rest-and-restore.
Make It a Ritual
Light a candle. Sip warm herbal tea or latte. Practice before bed or after work. Use this moment to reconnect — not just with your breath, but with your intention.
You deserve peace.
You begin where the breath returns.
