FOLLOW YOUR BREATH A gentle circle expands as you inhale and contracts as you exhale, with clear words to guide each phase. Choose Box Breath, Calm Exhale, or Equal Breath, or use Quiet Timer for a session without breathing cues. With Reduce Motion enabled, the circle stays still and the words remain.
