Breath basics

You do not need a perfect technique. Softness treats breath as an anchor — something already happening that you can notice.

A simple pattern

  1. Sit or stand with your feet supported. Soften the jaw.
  2. Inhale gently through the nose for about four counts.
  3. Exhale a little longer — five or six counts — without forcing.
  4. If the mind wanders, name it “thinking” and return to the next breath.

Three to five rounds is enough. This is practice for presence, not a cure for anxiety or any condition.
