Across NCCIH guidance, breathwork appears again as a no-cost tool with real benefits. Mindful breathing can offer a quick mental reset, improve focus, and soften self-judgment. Diaphragmatic breathing stimulates the vagus nerve and helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which can lower the body’s stress response. The 4–7–8 breath is known for producing a sense of calm and easing stress and anxiety. Some people feel lightheaded at first, so it’s best to begin with no more than four cy

I often teach the 4-7-8 breathing technique because it’s a simple, powerful way to calm the nervous system and reset your stress response. Inhale for four seconds, hold for seven, then exhale for eight — no equipment, no special setting, and you can do it almost anywhere. Practicing this regularly can help reduce anxiety, support better sleep, and bring a sense of calm in just a few breaths. Link in bio to watch the full demonstration and learn how to make it part of your routine. #BreathingTech

This breathing technique, also known as the Bellows Breath is adapted from yogic breathing exercises. If done correctly you might feel invigorated and refreshed. It’s a great exercise to use during an afternoon slump. If you can’t take a quick nap, try this instead of reaching for a snack or cup of coffee! | Andrew Weil, M.D.

When dealing with anxiety, I highly recommend learning a breathing technique. In rare occasions, I hear that breathwork is difficult for some and causes an anxious feeling. If breathwork causes you an edgy sense, slow down, and you can always try pairing it with another relaxation tool like meditation, hypnosis or guided imagery. #breathwork #anxietywithbreathwork | Andrew Weil, M.D.
