One calm minute

What it is

A one-minute paced breath: breathe in for 4 seconds, hold gently for 2, and release for 6. Five rounds make one calm minute.

How to do it

Sit comfortably. Follow the face: it grows as you breathe in and settles as you breathe out. Breathe through the nose if you can, and never strain on the hold.

Safety

A relaxation exercise, not treatment. Stop if you feel dizzy or light-headed, and breathe normally.

Private

Nothing is sent anywhere. The count of calm minutes stays on this device.

Why 4-2-6?

A longer out-breath than in-breath gives a slow, steady rhythm that is easy to follow. The short hold is gentle; skip it if it feels like a strain.

Can I use it offline?

Yes. Tap "Keep on phone" after your first minute and it opens like an app, even without a connection.

Is this a treatment?

No. It is a relaxation exercise, not treatment. If stress keeps coming back, talk to a qualified practitioner.
