Why Choose This Activity
Breathe fits Wellness Path sessions when you want a longer, restorative pause without competition or scoring. Five breathing techniques and flexible duration let you match the person's energy - a quick two-minute reset or a full twenty-minute wind-down. Calming visuals and optional ocean ambience support a quiet, unhurried tone.
Structured techniques with voice guidance and gentle visuals make paced breathing accessible without clinical language or pressure to perform.
How It Plays
Choose a technique, duration, and visual (orb, flower, balloon, or lungs), then tap Begin. Match your breath to the animation - inhale as it grows, exhale as it shrinks. Voice guides the first few cycles; soft chimes mark later phases. Tap the screen to pause or resume anytime.

Facilitator Tips
- Start with Coherence 5-5 or Calming 4-6 for an even, gentle rhythm.
- Sit with shoulders soft; never force the breath - pause if anyone feels dizzy.
- Adjust voice and music volume separately from the speaker control before Begin.
- Box 4-4-4-4 suits a focus reset; Unwind 4-7-8 helps toward rest at end of day.
- Belly 4-2-4 pairs well with a hand on the stomach for diaphragmatic breathing.
