25 Min Breathing
Extended session for deep nervous system training
Twenty-five minutes is the extended practice duration — long enough for serious nervous system training, deep relaxation, or meditation foundation. At this duration, most practitioners are fully immersed in the practice with minimal mental distraction, experiencing genuine nervous system reset.
A 25-minute breathing session is ideal for morning ritual, evening wind-down, or dedicated practice time. This duration approaches meditation length while maintaining breathing technique focus, creating a unique state of nervous system entrainment combined with mental clarity.
Twenty-five minutes allows enough cycles (approximately 125-150 depending on technique) for complete nervous system adaptation and lasting post-session effects. Many practitioners find that 25-minute sessions create baseline nervous system improvements that persist throughout the day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 25 minutes too long for a daily practice?
Not if you have the time. It's excellent as a morning ritual or evening practice. If daily practice isn't realistic, even weekly 25-minute sessions create meaningful nervous system benefits.
What's the difference between 25 minutes and 20 minutes?
The final five minutes allow for even deeper settling and more complete nervous system integration. The improvement is modest but meaningful for serious practitioners.
Should I do 25 minutes of the same breathing pattern or mix techniques?
Staying with one pattern is ideal to allow complete nervous system entrainment. If you want variety, do 25 minutes of one pattern, not mixed.
