---------------------------------

breath in for 4 seconds

hold your breath for 7 seconds

exhale breath for 8 seconds

repeat once or twice more.

This causes an autonomic nervous system shift from a sympathetic(fight or flight reaction) state to a parasympathetic response.

Use this for panic/anxiety attacks, exams, presentations.
