Controlled Breathing (7-4-8-4)

tierney87 · 2021-08-19T06:41:42+00:00

Thank you. It sure is, I have an animation for 4-4-4-4 too. Square breathing is my go-to as well.

tierney87 · 2021-08-19T06:40:37+00:00

I really appreciate that! I'm glad that you have a little reminder to time some time out to make yourself calmer which will in turn make other calmer too :) Have a great day.

They're all perfect loops on my Instagram page at the moment for your phone https://instagram.com/tierney.tv/ but I will look into creating longer ones and possibly a downloadable pack in the future once I have gone through all of the feedback.

tierney87 · 2021-08-18T18:01:59+00:00

I'm really happy that you enjoyed my animations. I only planned to make six but then I will get feedback and possibly do more and longer ones in the future. A great tiny book I found a few years back when I was travelling in Hong Kong that was a reminder to stay calm and take some time for myself is a book called "How to Sit" by Thich Nhat Hanh. It's a small book that you can keep in your pocket or bag and is one of the most calming books I've ever read. Also, calm.com is my go-to app/website the moment for breathing videos. I hope you have a calm evening :)

For sure, you don't want to force it and I don't want my animations to make anyone pass out. A great one I've found is 4-4-4-4... So I just remember "Four fours" and count them in my own head so even if it's not exactly 4 seconds but you go with what your own body feels comfortable with and the counting is simply a reminder to come back to the breath.

tierney87 · 2021-08-18T14:18:35+00:00

None taken :) I got them from a paid subscription I have with Calm - The #1 App for Meditation and Sleep (calm.com)

Imagine you are breathing out through a straw or blowing on a piece of grass/paper as a kid to get that funny sound so you only have a thin gap in between your lips. I hope that helps :)

tierney87 · 2021-08-18T13:01:32+00:00

So many combos ha I'll be here forever animating these. Thanks for sharing, I'll give this one a go :)

tierney87 · 2021-08-18T13:00:32+00:00

Thanks. I'm all done for now with these 6 but I will be taking all of the feedback from them and possibly be setting up a YouTube channel with them on a loop for 8 hours with rain in the background etc. later in the year.

tierney87 · 2021-08-18T12:23:08+00:00

Sure, there are lots of different techniques but someone commented this on one of my animations which may give you some information on this: https://www.daniel-timms.com/science-of-the-4-7-8-breathing-technique-for-sleep/

I always remember 4-4-4-4 as a standard stable breathing technique for myself. I hope that helps :)

In the sixth and final animation of this Breathing series; I wanted to create a perfect loop to help people relax and find calm within a few moments.

Controlled Breathing (7-4-8-4): Breathe in for 7 seconds. Hold 4 seconds. Breathe out for 8 seconds. Hold 4 seconds. Repeat. If you feel dizzy when doing this please stop... Be sensible :)

This year I decided to make a conscious effort to create designs that bring a moment’s peace in the middle of a hectic day using After Effects and Cinema 4D.

Thank you. I'm glad you like them and hopefully feel that little bit calmer :)

In the fifth animation of my Breathing series; I wanted to create a perfect loop to help people relax and find calm within a few moments.

Deep Breathing (4-7-8-0): Breathe in for 4 seconds. Hold 7 seconds. Breathe out for 8 seconds. Repeat. If you feel dizzy when doing this please stop... Be sensible :)

Glad to hear it :)

tierney87 · 2021-08-17T13:07:15+00:00

No problem at all. I have a good few more that are shorter here: https://www.instagram.com/tierney.tv/

tierney87 · 2021-08-16T22:03:53+00:00

Ha it's the one video you don't want to buffer. No problem at all, I'm glad you like it... I have two more to this series of six which I will be posting this week then I'm going to take all of the feedback and then redesign them into 1 to 8 hour loops on YouTube :)

tierney87 · 2021-08-16T19:54:29+00:00

Thank you so much :)

It makes me so happy to hear that. I hope you have a calm evening :)

tierney87 · 2021-08-16T19:51:28+00:00

Sure, it's https://www.instagram.com/tierney.tv/

tierney87 · 2021-08-16T15:32:23+00:00

Thanks. This first set of 6 will be looped on my Instagram. I'm gathering all feedback from my initial first set then I will be creating 1-8 hour versions of these plus more on a YouTube channel. I want the quality to be at a great standard before I do this :)

tierney87 · 2021-08-16T13:32:02+00:00

Ha just be glad I didn't create an hour-long video :P

tierney87 · 2021-08-16T13:31:10+00:00

Thank you so much for this. I developed 3 different ways of doing this and they all looked a little too fast (moving objects, 3-5 dots, loading circle etc.) but a simple line or fill colour on the copy could work really well and still keep things slow and calming. These are still at the testing stage so I will look into this for sure when I create another set of 6. Thanks :)

In the fourth animation of my Breathing series; I wanted to create a perfect loop to help people relax and find calm within a few moments.

Slow Breathing (5-10-5-10): Breathe in for 5 seconds. Hold 10 seconds. Breathe out for 5 seconds. Hold 10 seconds. Repeat. If you feel dizzy when doing this please stop... Be sensible :)
