You've completed your breathing exercise.
[ feminine ] /kɑʊma’ɾia/
In Portuguese, calmaria means calm and stillness. Sailors and surfers use it for the moment the wind drops and the ocean goes flat. That is the feeling this app is for: a little quiet in a busy day. Just breathe.
Often called the “relaxing breath”: in for 4 seconds, hold for 7, out for 8. It is a gentle way to wind down, and many people use it to ease into sleep.
Box breathing, also called square breathing, is four equal steps: in, hold, out, hold. Its steady, even count is a favourite for sharpening focus and easing stress.
Coherent breathing is the simplest rhythm of all: in for 5 seconds, out for 5, with no holds. It is a steady, even pace you can keep up for as long as you like.
A long, slow release: breathe in for 7 seconds and out for 11. A longer exhale than inhale is a classic way to settle the body and let go of tension.
