How to follow

You do not need to prepare. But if you want to arrive already knowing the shape of it, this is the whole of it.

Light Breathing is not breathwork

Most people hear "breathwork" and picture heavy, deep, fast breathing. This is the other way. Light Breathing is light in two senses: it is paced by light, and it is under-breathing — slow, quiet, less air, not more. You are not trying to fill your lungs; you are learning to want less.

Across roughly thirty-five minutes we alternate four minutes of slow, synchronised breathing with four minutes of silence. Then fifteen minutes of straight silence to close. That is the session: short breath, real rest, and a long sit at the end.

What it builds is tolerance — for a little air hunger, and for the discomfort of a quiet, unoccupied mind. Both are trainable, and both are the point.

Reading the lights

A bar of light does the counting so no one has to. Your only job is to follow something slower than your urgency.

Green, rising — breathe in, slowly, as the light climbs.

Blue, falling — let the breath out as the light drops.

Orange, at the bottom — rest on empty. No holding, no tension; just sit at the bottom of the breath until the light rises again.

The pace is around five and a half breaths a minute — slower than feels natural at first. That gap between the pace and your urge to breathe is the thing you are training.

Watch it run

Short clips of the lights in motion, so the pattern is familiar before you're in the room.

Practise here

This is the same light language used in the room. Let it pace you for a few minutes. Green up, blue down, orange rest — follow it, and don't chase ahead.
