This breathing technique helps activate your parasympathetic nervous system, naturally lowering cortisol and promoting relaxation. The extended exhale signals safety to your body.

Cortisol Relief Breathing

Inhale

Inhale slowly through the nose. Let the belly expand first, then the lower ribs. Chest and shoulders stay relaxed. Breathe in deeply but comfortably. No strain.

When the inhale feels full and easy, tap End Inhale.

Exhale

The app guides a slow exhale for double the inhale time. Exhale gently through the nose. Do not force it.

Rest

There is a pause of 1.5 seconds before the next inhale. This is a gentle rest, not a breath hold. If the pause feels tense or uncomfortable, you can adjust it to 1 or 2 seconds.

Repeat for 3–5 minutes.
