Longer out than in

In for four, out for six. Nothing held, nothing forced. The simplest thing that works.

Sit however you are comfortable. You can close your eyes; the count is spoken on the screen, not out loud.

The pattern

in through the nose, out through the nose

Anywhere, any time, eyes open. The one to use when you cannot make a thing of it.

What is known

A longer exhale than inhale is the mechanism the exhale-focused practices share: the slowing happens on the way out.
