2 or 5 minutes. Breathe at your own pace.

How to take a breathing break

  1. Choose 2 minutes for a brief pause or 5 minutes if you have more time, then select Begin.
  2. Let the light be an optional cue. Breathe at a comfortable pace; there is no need to hold your breath or follow a rhythm that feels uncomfortable.
  3. Use the sound control to mute or enable the room's audio. You can use the room in silence.
  4. Select Leave whenever you want to stop. When opened from Soul, the return link takes you back to Soul.

The timer needs JavaScript. You can still take a quiet pause without it: look away from the screen and let your breathing stay natural. This is an everyday break, not a treatment or a promise to change how you feel.
