The principle: breathing led by a glowing orb
Once you start the exercise, a fullscreen orb appears that smoothly grows and brightens on the inhale, gently trembles during the hold, and shrinks and dims again on the exhale. Your eyes (or just your inner attention) naturally follow the pace, without you having to count seconds in your head — the app takes care of the timing.
The inhale–hold–exhale phases differ in length and ratio between techniques, but the principle stays the same: the orb grows, holds and falls exactly in the rhythm your body should follow. Just breathe the way the orb "commands," and after a few cycles your breath naturally slows and deepens on its own.
Eight techniques for different situations
During the exercise you can switch between eight techniques at any time, depending on what you need right now — quick calm, falling asleep, or staying focused under pressure. You'll find an overview of all the techniques and their exact second ratios on the Breathing techniques page.
Vibration and customization
On phones that support vibration, the app gently vibrates with every change in breathing phase, so the exercise works reliably even with your eyes closed. You can turn the orb's look (color/glow) and vibration on or off at any point during the exercise, and your settings are saved for next time right in your browser.
