[Multiple Proven Breathing Techniques, Backed by Science]

· 4-7-8 Breathing: The "natural tranquilizer" popularized by Dr. Andrew Weil — inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7, exhale for 8. Practicing a few rounds before bed helps you fall asleep faster. · Box Breathing: Inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 4, hold 4. The technique used by Navy SEALs to stay calm under pressure — perfect before a speech, exam, or difficult meeting. · Coherent Breathing: A balanced 5-second inhale and 5-second exhale that regulates heart rate variability for everyday practice. · Custom Pattern: Set your own inhale, hold, and exhale durations to match your lung capacity and personal preference.

A glowing ring at the center of the screen expands and contracts in sync with your breath, accompanied by clear phase text — "Inhale / Hold / Exhale" — and a countdown. No need to stare at the screen; the rhythm is felt in your peripheral vision.
