When to use it
- In the ten minutes before a presentation, a board meeting or a difficult conversation.
- Between back-to-back meetings, when you are carrying the last one into the next.
- At the end of the day, to mark the shift out of work.
Headphones help, though they are not required. You can do this at your desk, in your car before you go in, or on a chair at home.
Before you start
Sit or lie down somewhere you can stay still for seven minutes. Do not use this track while driving, operating machinery or in water. Breathe gently rather than forcefully. If you feel lightheaded, dizzy or any tingling, let your breathing return to normal and stop. If you are pregnant, or you are managing a heart or respiratory condition, check with your treating clinician before adding a breathing practice.
This is a self-guided wellbeing practice. It supports how you regulate under pressure, and it does not provide therapy, counselling or clinical care.
