Exhale into Ease

When your mind won’t quiet or sleep feels far away, the 4-7-8 Breathing Tile guides you back into rest. Inspired by an ancient yogic pattern popularized by Dr. Andrew Weil, this technique slows the breath to calm the body’s stress response and prepare it for sleep or deep relaxation.

Each breath becomes a signal of safety — reminding your body it’s time to release, reset, and restore. Perfect for evenings, anxiety spikes, or moments when your nervous system needs a gentle reset.

Choose Your Form:

  • Small Tile: Portable and discreet — perfect for grounding between tasks or before bed. (1.75” x 1.75”)

  • Large Tile: Weighted and substantial — a tactile centerpiece that transforms any surface into a calm corner. (2.5” x 2.5”)

  • Charm: Calm on the go — attach it to your keys or bag for grounding anywhere. (1.75” x 1.75”)

Made by Hand for Your Hands
Each piece is crafted in small batches in our New Haven, CT studio — individually cast, refined, and glazed by hand. No two are exactly alike, just like the moments they’re made to hold.

  • Trace the raised triangle with your finger or thumb starting with the shortest side, as you guide your breath:
    Inhale for 4 counts → Hold for 7 counts → Exhale for 8 counts.
    Repeat three to four times. Allow each breath to lengthen naturally, releasing more tension with every exhale. Continue until your body feels lighter and your mind quiets.

  • When your mind won’t quiet and your body stays on alert, your nervous system is often caught in “fight or flight.” The 4-7-8 Breathing Technique, rooted in pranayama and popularized by Dr. Andrew Weil, offers a gentle way to guide your body back to safety and rest.

    This practice uses an intentional rhythm — inhale for 4 counts, hold for 7, exhale for 8 — to lengthen the exhale and slow the heart rate. The pattern engages the parasympathetic nervous system, the part of your body responsible for deep relaxation, digestion, and recovery.

    By extending the exhale, you activate your body’s natural “calm” response, lowering cortisol and helping transition from stress to ease. The slow ratio also helps balance oxygen and CO₂ levels, reducing physical tension and quieting mental chatter.

    Practiced regularly, the 4-7-8 method can improve sleep quality, support emotional regulation, and build resilience against daily stress. With each guided breath, your body learns to recognize safety again — and to exhale into ease.
