Vagus: Breathing Exercises

There is a nerve in your body whose whole job is to calm you down. The vagus nerve runs from your brainstem to your heart, lungs and gut, and every long, slow exhale switches it on: your heart rate settles, stress hormones ebb away, and your system moves out of fight or flight. Vagus teaches you to use that switch whenever you need it, with nothing more than your breath. WHAT YOU GET 28 guided breathing exercises organised into 6 categories, each one matched to a moment in your day: • Sleep: long, unhurried exhales that quieten a racing mind and ease you towards deep rest • Nerve Reset: rapid physiological resets for the moments when stress spikes • Calm & Anxiety: steady rhythms that take the edge off worry and bring you back to baseline • Focus: balanced patterns such as box breathing that sharpen attention before work, study or sport • Energy: activating breaths that wake you up without another coffee • HRV & Coherence: paced breathing near six breaths per minute to train heart rate variability EVERY EXERCISE EXPLAINS ITSELF Vagus is not a random list of patterns. Each exercise carries a short, science grounded explanation of why it works: what the rhythm does to your nervous system, when to reach for it, and what you should notice. You will not simply breathe better. You will understand your own physiology. BREATHE WITH THE ORB Sessions are guided by a gently blooming flower orb paired with subtle haptics, so you can follow the rhythm with your eyes closed or your phone face down. No counting, no guesswork. PROGRAMMES THAT BUILD A HABIT • 7 Day Nerve Reset: one week towards a calmer baseline • Better Sleep Week: rebuild your wind down routine night by night • Focus Sprint: train attention in short, repeatable sessions Daily streaks keep the habit alive, one session at a time.
