Breathing Technique 3: Cyclic Sighing (physiological sigh)

Cyclic Sighing, also known as the physiological sigh, is a powerful breathing technique for stress reduction and mood improvement. This video demonstrates the technique, which involves taking a deep, full breath through the nose, followed by a sharper inhale, and then a long, relaxing exhale through the mouth. The second inhale helps reinflate the alveoli in the lungs, allowing for a more effective exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Just one physiological sigh can help bring your excitability back to baseline in real time.
