The skill "Breathing exercise" can help you to reduce stress in a short time by slowly inhaling and exhaling. The special feature of this breathing exercise is that you hold your breath for a short time between inhaling and exhaling. Just follow the meditative sounds to find the rhythm of your breath. You will not be distracted from spoken announcements and can immerse yourself in meditation! Just start and follow the breathing exercise as long as you want! A simple "Alexa, Stop!" then concludes the exercise.
Each breathing cycle begins with inhalation, then you hold your breath for about 4 seconds before exhaling. You will also wait a short time before inhaling again. Alexa will guide you through this breathing exercise with the help of sounds: Always inhale slowly when you hear a tone with a higher pitch. Then you hold your breath until you hear the deeper sound that triggers your exhaling. Then you wait a short time until you hear the higher sound to inhale again slowly. In this way you get into a calm, relaxing breathing rhythm. The breathing exercise will last as long as you want. It usually takes no more than 5 minutes to feel a pleasant relaxation. But of course you can also meditate much longer.
Many people report great results with this breathing exercise by closing their eyes and by visualizing a square. That's the reason why this exercise is sometimes called "square breathing". As you inhale, your mind moves up the left edge of the rectangle, then goes from left to right while holding your breath, then your mind moves down the right edge of the rectangle from top to bottom while exhaling and slowly returns to the starting point, where the next cycle begins.
Please do not perform this breathing exercise while standing. It is important to sit down on a comfortable seat or on a sofa, so that you can relax completely. The most important aspect of this exercise is that you feel comfortable and that you mindfully follow your breath.
You can say "Alexa, open breathing exercise", "Alexa, start breathing exercise" or "Alexa, load breathing exercise". Alexa then leads you quickly to the start of your breathing exercise.
