Return to baseline. Stay there.

A long exhale engages the body's brake. You're not faking calm — you're operating the machinery of it.

The fastest voluntary way to bring arousal down. Two quick inhales through the nose, one long exhale.

Count down through the senses. Anxiety lives in the past and future; the senses only work in the present.

A low hum extends the exhale and sends a slow vibration through the body — the sound the body makes at ease, made on purpose.
