When Bedtime Comes but Your Mind Is Still Going | 19 Min Guided Slow Breathwork

Yo, I'm Ed. Welcome back to Breath Space's Breath Lab. Why do so many people use breathwork to help them sleep? Because breathing is the quickest way to activate your parasympathetic nervous system, quiet your mind, and relax your body. First, if this video helps you, subscribe and like now—you'll probably be too relaxed later. There's also a link to our LINE group below. Join us for the latest tips on healthy aging and wellness. Learn this breathing technique. You won't need pills.

No counting sheep. No forcing yourself to fall asleep. Your body already has a brake. It's called the parasympathetic nervous system. The most direct way to activate it is to lengthen your exhale. Today, we'll do four rounds of breathing. The first round is the physiological sigh.

Breathe in twice: one long inhale, then one short. Then take a long exhale. Like this.

For the next two rounds, inhale for four seconds and exhale for six. For the final round, inhale for four and exhale for eight. You don't need to remember any of this. I'll guide you through it. Now sit or lie down. Close your eyes. Listen to my voice. Breathe with me.

Let's begin. Breathe in through your nose. Fill halfway. Take one more small sip of air. Then, through your mouth, exhale slowly and fully. Breathe in. Breathe out.
