Vayu Breathing

Vayu Breathing brings Vayu's guided breathing into ChatGPT. Tell it how you feel, or ask for a technique, and a breathing timer appears in the conversation: press Start, and the circle grows as you breathe in and settles as you breathe out, with each phase named and timed.

What you can ask for:

• A practice for how you feel right now: trouble sleeping, anxiety, a panic moment, stress, feeling overwhelmed, racing thoughts, brain fog, focus, nerves before a big moment or low energy. Vayu picks a practice, says why, and offers alternatives you can switch to in the timer.
• Better sleep: an evening wind-down routine built around Bedtime calm, with what to do if you wake in the night and when to talk to a doctor.
• Guided pauses: Vayu's short morning, midday, stress relief and bedtime pauses, with three settling prompts before a few slow breaths.
• A named technique, for 1 to 10 minutes: box breathing, 4-7-8, cyclic sighing, extended exhale, a 4-8 slow exhale, humming bee breath (Bhramari), alternate nostril breathing (Anulom Vilom) or a steady 4-2-4-2 rhythm.
• How-to guides for 16 techniques, including pranayama such as Ujjayi, Kapalabhati and Bhastrika, with the best time of day and cautions. Fast, forceful techniques are explained but not paced.
• A 7-day plan for sleep, stress, anxiety, focus or energy.

No sign-up and no account. The plugin does not collect personal information or read your conversation; it receives only the choices ChatGPT passes to it, such as the practice and the length.

This is a breathing practice for calm, focus and sleep. It is not medical treatment. If you are pregnant, have uncontrolled blood pressure, a heart condition, or recent surgery, stick to the slow patterns and skip the forced ones. Full list at vayu-prana.com/safety. Stop if you feel dizzy or lightheaded, and breathe normally.
