Four ways back to the present.
Anxiety does not always feel the same, so Calmalo does not always answer it the same way. When you start, it asks how it feels right now, and chooses one of these for you.
- 01
Extended exhale
A breath where the exhale is longer than the inhale. The simplest way to tell a racing body it can slow down.
- 02
Physiological sigh
A double inhale followed by a long, unhurried exhale. It releases the held-in feeling tension leaves in the chest.
- 03
Box breathing
Four equal sides: in, hold, out, hold. Just enough structure to give a looping mind something else to hold.
- 04
5-4-3-2-1 grounding
A slow walk through the senses, one at a time, to bring attention back to the room you are in.
