Steady: Paced Breathing Timer vs Open Breathwork Freely Breathe Usage & Stats

A breathing meditation app that helps you fights stress and anxiety through breathing exercises such as box breathing, and the popular 4-7-8 breathing pattern that helps with sleep. Let the timer and audio cues guide the rhythm of your breath as you breathe in and breathe out, inhaling the future and exhaling the past. Pranayama ("prana" - life force, "yama" - regulation) is the conscious regulation & awareness of breath: the life force that both energizes and relaxes the body. It is no surprise that our breath can influence our physiology. Wim Hof, a Dutch extreme athlete, is noted for his ability to withstand freezing temperatures thanks to his breathwork. Even if you are not aiming to become an extreme athlete, you can enjoy the many benefits of breathwork such as strengthening your immune system (which can be confirmed by measuring your heart rate variability, a.k.a., HRV), improving your ability to deal with stress & anxiety, keeping asthma under control, etc.. In fact, you will notice an immediate sense of relaxation through a short minute of breathwork. Deep breathing doesn't help. What helps is rhythm.
