Breathing paced against a steady 60-beats-per-minute pulse — five beats in, five beats out.

Why practice 60 BPM Heart-Rate Pacing

Instead of counting seconds you ride a slow pulse, the tempo of a resting heart. Our hour-long soundtrack holds a steady 60 bpm so the body entrains twice: breath to count, pulse toward the music.

How to do it

  1. Find the beat.
  2. In for 5 beats, out for 5 beats.
  3. Let the count fade into feel.

Good to know

None specific.

Practice with sound

This pattern has a paced soundtrack — 1 hr of audio cues so you can practice eyes-closed, no screen.

More patterns

  • Box Breathing — Four equal sides: in, hold, out, hold — 4 seconds each. The steadying classic used by Navy SEALs.
  • 4-7-8 Relaxing Breath — In for 4, hold for 7, out for 8. The long exhale flips the body's relaxation switch.
  • Calming Breath 8-8 — Eight seconds in, eight seconds out: slow symmetric breathing at about 3.75 breaths per minute.
  • Deep Steady Breathing — The 8-8 rhythm carried by rhythmic beats — breathing you can feel.
