Frequently Asked Questions
What is 4-7-8 breathing?
4-7-8 breathing means inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7 seconds, exhale for 8 seconds. It activates the parasympathetic nervous system, lowering heart rate and blood pressure. Dr. Andrew Weil popularized it as a natural sleep aid.
Is box breathing the same as square breathing?
Yes. Box breathing (also called square breathing) is 4-4-4-4: inhale 4 sec, hold 4 sec, exhale 4 sec, hold empty 4 sec. It's used by Navy SEALs and first responders for calm under pressure.
What is Anulom Vilom?
Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) involves breathing through one nostril at a time. It balances the left and right brain hemispheres, reduces anxiety, and improves concentration. In yogic tradition, it balances ida and pingala nadis.
How many rounds should I do?
Beginners: 3-5 rounds. Intermediate: 8-12 rounds. Advanced: 20+ rounds. Start small and increase gradually. Stop if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or anxious — this means the ratio is too challenging for now.
