Slow paced breathing audio — 6 breaths a minute

Five seconds in, five seconds out, for ten minutes. A calm, steady pace you can follow with your eyes closed — at your desk, in bed or in the car park.

Made with code (no recordings, no AI voices). Free to use in videos, classrooms, waiting rooms and playlists with credit.

How to use it

  1. Sit or lie comfortably and breathe in while the tone rises (5 seconds).
  2. Breathe out while it falls (5 seconds).
  3. Let your shoulders drop on each out-breath.
  4. This is a relaxation exercise, not medical treatment — talk to your clinician about symptoms.
