"When the mind races, return to the count. Simple, rhythmic, grounding."

Anxiety often lives in the future. Counting brings you back to the present. This session uses a specific counting ratio (In for 4, Out for 7) to trigger the parasympathetic nervous system. It is a highly effective 'emergency brake' for stress, useful in labour or any stressful life moment.

When to listen

•If you feel panic rising.
•During medical appointments or checks.
•When you can't sleep due to racing thoughts.
•To regain control of a fast breathing rate.

What you'll practice

•Following a guided count.
•Extending the exhale longer than the inhale.
•Focusing the mind solely on the numbers.
•Feeling the heart rate slow down.

This session is designed to support relaxation and preparation. It is not medical care and does not replace guidance from healthcare professionals.
