CO₂ Control
Recovery Pause
Supports calm breath-control awareness with tiny, unforced pauses.
Duration
2 min
Pattern
Inhale 3.5s · Exhale 4s · Pause 2.5s
Breathe normally: an easy inhale, an easy exhale, then a small two-to-three-second pause. Five gentle rounds. There is nothing to extend and nothing to beat — the pause stays tiny by design.
Why this works
A tiny pause after the out-breath, with no pushing, builds calm familiarity with the stillness between breaths. There's nothing to extend — the ease is the point.
Gentle by design: breathe quietly through the nose where comfortable, never force, and stop if you feel dizzy or unwell. Training practice — not a medical treatment.
