The breath practice of a 2-1-4 ratio is very powerful for calming down and experiencing clarity. By exhaling longer than you inhale, you may see reduced anxiety and an improved mood. Today, I will guide you through the brief practice, and after that, you can do it on your own at any time. It is beautiful that you have this tool that you can take with you and practice anywhere.

There is a Sanskrit proverb that says, “For breath is life, and if you breathe well, you will live long on earth.”

For more information about this particular breath practice, you can watch this video tip for intentional living, describing this 2-1-4 practice to help you reduce stress and anxiety at any moment. Your breath is a powerful tool to help you change your physical state as well as your mindset. Les shares a practice he uses regularly for himself and his clients and hopes you will find value in as well.
