## What is Breathe?

Breathing exercises that actually help you relax. Breathe is your daily companion for mindful breathing — simple, science-backed techniques for anxiety relief, stress relief, sharper focus, and better sleep. No account, no subscription, no internet required.

GUIDED BREATHING TECHNIQUES

Choose from four research-backed patterns — each targeting a different mental state:

• Box Breathing (4-4-4-4) — Used by Navy SEALs and athletes to stay calm under pressure. Perfect before a meeting, exam, or stressful moment.
• 4-7-8 Relaxation — A natural tranquilizer for the nervous system. Wind down and fall asleep faster tonight.
• Equal Breathing (4-4) — Balance your mind and body with a simple, steady rhythm. Great for beginners.
• Light Breathing (3-3) — A gentle deep breathing technique for everyday stress relief.

AUDIO CUES
Soft sound cues guide each phase — inhale, hold, exhale. No need to watch the screen while you breathe.
