BREATHING EXERCISES FOR IMMEDIATE HELP Breathing works directly on your nervous system and calms you quickly in acute moments of stress and anxiety. Breathwork is the fastest tool you have to come back to yourself. In the app you will find Box Breathing, 4-7-8 Breathing and the Physiological Sigh, so you can settle within minutes. There are also activating patterns that give you energy, for example in the morning. Every exercise is adjustable for free: Length of the inhale and exhale, holds, voice, sound and animation. That way you build the exercise that fits you.

MEDITATION FOR BETTER SLEEP AND A CALM NERVOUS SYSTEM Guided meditations help you sleep better, relax more deeply and bring more mindfulness and emotional balance into your day.

You will also find Yoga Nidra, Body Scan and body journeys that take you into deeper relaxation. Filters and categories let you find what you need fast: For anxiety, stress, falling asleep or for focus and clarity.

REGULATE YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM AND VAGUS NERVE Your vagus nerve is the key nerve for relaxation. When it is engaged, your nervous system shifts out of stress mode and into rest. Nervous system exercises, also known as somatic exercises, release tension held in the body and actively regulate your autonomic nervous system. This helps with stress, anxiety, restlessness and after demanding situations. The goal of 8Breath is a complete practice for your nervous system that you can do every day.

SOMATIC EXERCISES FOR YOUR BODY Somatic exercises are gentle, mindful movements that strengthen the connection to your own body and regulate the nervous system when you are tense. Because stress does not only sit in the mind, it sits in the body. These exercises work through movement, touch and awareness. They are simple, need no prior experience, and they work on days when meditation feels out of reach.

SLEEP AND FALLING ASLEEP When you cannot switch off in the evening, it is rarely just your thoughts. A sleep meditation and calm breathing exercises bring your nervous system down so that sleep becomes possible at all. You will also find sleep stories, dream journeys and calming sounds for the night. And if you wake up at 3am and cannot get back to sleep, there is something here for that too.
