10 Sighing Breaths

Ten Minutes Of Sighing Breath
Zachary Phillips

This short guided meditation begins with a brief check-in, followed by 10 slow, deep, sighing breaths into the belly. This simple breathing practice helps calm the nervous system, release physical tension, and bring your attention back to the present moment. Use it whenever you feel stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, or need a reset.

  1. Begin with a brief check-in.

  2. Breath in through the nose, low into the belly, and slow.

  3. Add a sighing out breath.

As your body begins to settle, notice what you are feeling. Ask yourself what you need to feel safe, supported, and calm, then respond to that need with kindness.
