About this breathing pacer
Breathwork is a free, browser-based breathing pacer built around paced patterns like the classic 4-4-4 box breath: inhale for four seconds, hold for four, exhale for four, hold for four. An animated mandala expands and softens with each phase, with on-screen counts, so you follow a shape instead of counting in your head.
Everything runs on your device — no signup, no account, and nothing is sent to a server. A session of four to six cycles takes about two minutes and is enough to slow a racing, shallow breath.
Frequently asked questions
- What is 4-4-4 box breathing?
- A breathing pattern with four equal four-second phases: inhale, hold, exhale, hold. The equal pacing gives your nervous system a predictable rhythm to follow, and it is widely taught as a stress-regulation skill.
- How long should a breathwork session last?
- Start with 4–6 cycles — about two minutes. Stop and return to normal breathing if you feel dizzy, and keep breath holds gentle.
- Is the breathing pacer free?
- Yes. It runs in your browser with no signup, no download, and no account required.
- Is breathwork a medical treatment?
- No. Paced breathing is a non-clinical wellness practice. If anxiety persistently disrupts work, sleep, or relationships, talk with a licensed provider.
