The 4-7-8 breathing technique

The 4-7-8 breathing technique is a relaxation exercise developed by Dr. Andrew Weil. It is designed to help reduce stress, promote better sleep, and improve overall relaxation. The technique involves the following steps:

Inhale: Breathe in quietly through your nose for a count of 4 seconds.

Hold: Hold your breath for a count of 7 seconds.

Exhale: Exhale completely through your mouth, making a whooshing sound, for a count of 8 seconds.

Here's a step-by-step guide to practicing the 4-7-8 breathing technique:

Find a Comfortable Position: Sit or lie down in a comfortable position with your back straight.

Close Your Eyes: Close your eyes and relax your body.

Inhale: Close your mouth and inhale quietly through your nose to a mental count of four.

Hold Your Breath: Hold your breath for a count of seven.

Exhale: Exhale completely through your mouth, making a whooshing sound, to a count of eight.

Repeat: This completes one breath cycle. Repeat the cycle three more times for a total of four breaths.

Regular practice of the 4-7-8 technique can help manage stress and anxiety, improve sleep quality, and enhance overall well-being. It's a simple yet effective tool that can be used anytime and anywhere to help calm the mind and body.

One of my favorites that I learned from, Dr. Andrew Weil, is on Ellen briefly touching on integrative medicine and breath work. 🙌🏽 Props to Ellen for giving this incredible man and his wisdom, a platform. 👏🏽 I also have several of his books, but for those with health conditions, I recommend reading Spontaneous Healing. 👌🏽

How ironic to find out my #birthdaydessert is connected to #drandrewweil My Mom's last doctor in NC studied under him. (Before I moved her to Los Angeles) She was a Doctor of Osteopathy. The first to ask her what she did before retirement..her answer: "I was a #dogooder" ....hence the subtitle of my last play Saw a #yellowbug in a parking lot today too.

"I have argued for years that we do not have a health care system in America. We have a disease-management system - one that depends on ruinously expensive drugs and surgeries that treat health conditions after they manifest rather than giving our citizens simple diet, lifestyle and therapeutic tools to keep them healthy." . .

"The body can heal itself. Eating in a way that strengthens the body's internal defenses and supports natural healing abilities is far safer, cheaper, and much more effective than the intensive interventions of technological medicine. Healing comes from within. The word 'healing' means 'making whole' - that is, restoring integrity and balance." -Dr. Andrew Weil #eatforhealth #heal #healing #supportyourhealth #restorebalance #healthinsideandout #whole #eatlikeyoumatter #drandrewweil #eatcleanbewhole @eatcleanbewhole www.facebook.com/eatcleanbewhole www.eatclean-bewhole.tumblr.com
