If you prefer following a rhythm, you can start a breathing exercise in Mowditate. Box Breathing and Resonant Breathing are included for free.
Box Breathing
Box Breathing moves through an inhale, a pause, an exhale and another pause. Mowditate provides a visual guide to the current phase, so you do not need to keep watching a clock.
Resonant Breathing
Resonant Breathing follows a calm, regular rhythm of inhaling and exhaling. Unlike Box Breathing, the focus is on those two breathing phases. Choose the exercise whose rhythm feels comfortable for you.
No target to push through
There is no need to force your breathing. If the rhythm feels uncomfortable, stop the exercise and return to breathing normally. The app supports personal practice and does not replace medical treatment.
Grounding as an alternative
5-4-3-2-1 Grounding directs attention towards your senses and surroundings. It is not a breathing exercise and can be an alternative when you would rather turn your attention outwards.
Also on Apple Watch
Breathing and grounding exercises are available on your wrist too. These free exercises do not require Mowditate+ or an account.
