Get instant access · $8 USD Instant lifetime access · listen on any device · yours to keepThere’s a reason thinking your way out of stress is the slowest possible path to calm…
That’s because stress doesn’t live in your mind. It lives in your body.
Your nervous system selects a response before you act, based on past patterns stored below awareness. That’s why you can know exactly what to do and still not do it.
But here’s the truth…
Your nervous system is far more trainable than you think, if you go in through the breath.
The 8 Minute Reset uses the breath to shift your state first, so your mind follows, instead of trying to calm it from the top down.
You don’t have to dig into your past or figure out why you feel the way you do. You just breathe, and let your body do what it already knows how to do.
How it works
- Find a comfortable seat. Relax the body and move as little as you can, using only your breathing muscles.
- Two rounds of gentle breathing: a four count in through the nose and a four count out through the mouth.
- Breath holds on the inhale and the exhale, up to one minute. The more you relax, the easier they are.
- A big vibrational sigh to let it all out. Use your voice. Let it be heard.
- You finish in stillness, back in your body, with the energy to go into your day with purpose.

A’s to your Q’s
Meditation trains you to observe your mind. The 8 Minute Reset works through your body, using the breath to shift your nervous system so your mind follows.
Many feel the shift after one session. Run it every morning for the biggest change.
Somewhere you can sit comfortably, and about 13 minutes: a short intro, then 8 minutes of breathwork.
No. I am not a therapist, and this is not a diagnosis or a deep dive into your trauma. If you want professional help, I recommend that you get it.
8 minutes a day.
Back in your body before the day begins.
