Four ways to breathe, written from the work of Andrew Huberman and the studies he cites. Short and sourced, with the safety notes first.
01The physiological sighTwo breaths in through the nose, one long breath out through the mouth. The quickest tool in Andrew Huberman's toolkit for a stressful moment.02Daily cyclic sighingThe same sigh, repeated for five minutes a day. The practice tested in a Stanford study that Andrew Huberman co-authored.03Box breathing, sized to youBreathe in, hold, breathe out, hold, in four equal sides. Huberman's twist is to size each side to your own exhale, not to a number from a poster.04Nasal breathing, and what to know about mouth tapingWhy Huberman favors breathing through the nose, a daytime habit anyone can try, and the cautions you should read before you consider taping your mouth at night.
