Calming Breaths

What Is Calming Breaths?

Calming Breaths is a therapeutic interaction created to guide users through a calm and deep breathing technique. Conceived during the Wellness Month, when everyone was talking about a moment to breathe, it acts as a reset moment when one feels overwhelmed; when one's heart is racing with bouts of anxiety, or one just needs to pause for a little while and feel that sense of stillness. Just with a click away, you have few simple instructions to take deep breaths so as to physically and mentally calm oneself down-anyone who wishes for an instant remedy to emotional relief can join in.

How to Play

Playing Calming Breaths is dreadfully simple and easy for anyone to use. The game takes you through the 4-4-4-4 breathing rhythm: breathe in for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 4 seconds, breathe out for 4 seconds, and hold for another 4 seconds. The only thing you need to do is observe the prompts so that your breathing is in sync with the visuals. Clicking the spacebar or tapping the screen will turn off the instruction prompts, which creates an uninterrupted ambience to breathe purely and calmly when you are ready.

Tips & Tricks

• Find a Quiet Place: It will be much better to go somewhere calm and comfortable, where one can remain a while uninterrupted.
• Focus on Your Breathing: Try to keep your eyes closed or softly gaze on the screen to enhance relaxation.
• Adjust the Pace: If 4 seconds feels too long or short, go for what feels most natural to you.
• Practice Often: Use this breathing technique daily, especially during stressful times or before going to bed. This will help you form an association with mindful breathing.

History

Calming Breaths was created as part of a Wellness Month initiative by Peaceful Picnic Studio. The developer was inspired by that person's own breathing methods to deal with big feelings, thoughts, or emotions. Seeing how stress relief is a universal concern, they needed to develop something that would bring tranquility in people's everyday life. This project appears as an attempt to try to put into practice mindfulness and self-care during difficult days.
