Before we start adding stoppers into our Breasy, let's actually learn how to breathe through it first.
Everyone breathes differently, which is exactly why Breasy has three adjustable airflow holes. We're going to start with them all open, then slowly work our way through one, two and three stoppers.
We're going to start with zero stoppers and work our way through one, two and three.
At each level, we'll show you:
Eventually, we're working towards around 5 to 7 breaths per minute (roughly one complete breath every 9–12 seconds)
Why? Because slow, controlled breathing can help stimulate the vagus nerve, which plays an important role in your parasympathetic nervous system also known as your body's rest and digest system. As your breathing slows, signals travelling through the vagus nerve help tell your heart to slow down, helping your body move away from that fight-or-flight response.
IN → around 4–5 seconds
OUT → around 5–7 seconds
Three stoppers is where we're heading, but it's not what we're chasing. If you're using one stopper and you're still working towards that 9–12 second breath, stay there. There's no need to rush ahead just because the next lesson exists.
As your breathing gets slower and the resistance starts feeling easier, check in again. Maybe next week you're ready for another stopper. Maybe you're not. That's completely fine.
And remember, how Breasy feels when you're sitting here calmly practising can be very different to how it feels when you're anxious or your heart is racing. Maybe your first breath is six seconds. Then seven. Then eight.
Start with the breath you've got and work towards the breath we want.
Alright. Breasy ready?
Let's start with everything open.
Everyone starts here.
Leave all three airflow holes open.
This gives you the least resistance
and lets you get used to the breathing
technique before we start changing
anything. Zero stoppers might feel
ridiculously easy. That's fine. For
someone else, it might be exactly
what they need.
When you breathe slowly, several beneficial physiological changes occur. Heart rate variability (HRV) tends to increase, the vagus nerve becomes more active, blood pressure can become more stable, and the brain's threat-detection systems receive signals that the body is safe. Together, these changes help shift the body away from a fight-or-flight state and towards a calmer, more regulated state. Learn more about the science here.
Breasy provides a simple, non-electronic way to access these benefits anywhere, at any time. Small enough to fit in your pocket, bag, or bedside drawer, it can be used whenever you need support whether that's before bed, boarding a flight, sitting an exam, a presentation, at the dentist or during moments of rising anxiety throughout the day.
Morning. Starting the day with 5-10 minutes of slow breathing sets a calmer baseline
Transitions. Between activities, before meetings, during commutes (not while driving)
Before sleep. Helps activate the parasympathetic system for better sleep onset
During recovery. After stressful events, to help the nervous system return to baseline
Natural Pace: What initially feels awkwardly slow starts to feel comfortable. Your respiratory system adapts, and 6 breaths per minute becomes accessible rather than effortful.
Your natural state begins to change: Regular slow breathing practice affects your resting state, not just the moments when you're deliberately practicing. Heart rate variability tends to improve overall. Baseline anxiety often decreases.
The skill transfers. After enough practice, you can access the calming effect more quickly and in more situations. What initially required 10 minutes of focused practice might eventually be achievable in 2 minutes or less.
You can recognize the state. With practice, you become better at noticing when your nervous system is activated and when it's calm. This awareness itself is valuable, and it lets you intervene earlier.
