Resonant Breathing (the exercise from the video)
Resonant breathing, also called coherent breathing, can help you calm anxiety and get into a relaxed state. To try it yourself:
Lie down and close your eyes.
Gently breathe in through your nose, mouth closed, for a count of six seconds.
Donโt fill your lungs too full of air.
Exhale for six seconds, allowing your breath to leave your body slowly and gently. Donโt force it.
Continue for up to 10 minutes.
Take a few additional minutes to be still and focus on how your body feels.
Inhaling deeply may not always calm you down. Taking a deep breath in is actually linked to the sympathetic nervous system, which controls the fight-or-flight response. But exhaling is linked to the parasympathetic nervous system, which influences our bodyโs ability to relax and calm down.

Taking too many deep breaths too quickly can actually cause you to hyperventilate. Hyperventilation decreases the amount of oxygen-rich blood that flows to your brain.
When we feel anxious or under stress, itโs easier to breathe too much and end up hyperventilating โ even if weโre trying to do the opposite.
Before you take a big, deep breath, try a thorough exhale instead. Push all the air out of your lungs, then simply let your lungs do their work inhaling air.
Next, try spending a little bit longer exhaling than you do inhaling. For example, try inhaling for four seconds, then exhale for six.
Try doing this for two to five minutes.
This technique can be done in any position thatโs comfortable for you, including standing, sitting, or lying down.
