A breathing rhythm timer

A timer can pace a breathing rhythm so you do not have to count. This preset follows a 4-7-8 tempo — four seconds in, seven holding, eight out — for eight cycles.

It is a pacing tool only. Adjust the tempo and cycle count in the builder to whatever rhythm you prefer.

How to use it

  1. Breathe in during the inhale phase.
  2. Hold, then breathe out, following the cues.
  3. Repeat for the set number of cycles.
