The 4-7-8 Breathing Technique

A powerful relaxation method that can help calm your nervous system and prepare your body for sleep

1

Inhale

4 Seconds

Breathe in quietly through your nose for a count of four

2

Hold

7 Seconds

Hold your breath for a count of seven

3

Exhale

8 Seconds

Exhale completely through your mouth for a count of eight

Repeat this cycle 3-4 times when you first start. With practice, you can work up to 8 cycles. The extended exhalation triggers your parasympathetic nervous system, reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation. This technique is especially effective when combined with Serapis light patterns.

Benefits of 4-7-8 Breathing

Reduces Anxiety

Activates the parasympathetic nervous system to calm the body's stress response.

Improves Sleep Quality

Helps quiet the mind and relax the body for deeper, more restorative sleep.

Enhances Focus

Concentrating on the breath pattern brings mental clarity and present-moment awareness.

Regulates Breathing

Trains your respiratory system for more efficient oxygen exchange and lung capacity.

Somnofractal™ Pattern Usage Guide

Scientific Principles

The Somnofractal™ Pattern is a set of geometrically designed patterns with fractal characteristics. Inspired by self-similar structures in nature—such as trees, snowflakes, ripples, and mountain lines—these patterns create a harmonious balance of order and complexity. They help relax the brain's visual cortex and Default Mode Network (DMN), guiding the brain into a deeper state of relaxation.

Somnofractal Pattern
  • Reduces Anxiety: Research published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience shows that fractal patterns with a complexity range of 1.3–1.5 best trigger the brain's relaxation response, similar to the pleasure derived from natural scenery.
  • Activates the Default Mode Network (DMN): The DMN is a neural network active during rest, closely linked to meditation, dreaming, and early sleep stages. Fractal patterns stimulate DMN activity, facilitating a meditative brain state.
  • Improves Heart Rate Variability (HRV): Studies indicate that under fractal visual stimulation, participants' HRV increases, signifying enhanced parasympathetic activity—a marker of the body entering "rest and repair" mode.
  • Reduces Cortisol and Stress Levels: Subjects viewing fractal art showed significant decreases in salivary cortisol levels, providing physiological evidence of stress reduction.

Bedtime Gazing

In dim light, sit 30-60cm from the pattern and gently gaze for 1-2 minutes. You'll feel visual calmness and fewer distracting thoughts as your visual cortex automatically recognizes self-similar patterns, reducing visual anxiety.

Meditation Assistance

Position device at 45-degree angle during meditation, allowing patterns to enter semi-gaze state. This helps stabilize brainwaves faster when combined with low-light mode and soft white noise.

Nighttime Awakening Relief

When waking with racing thoughts, turn on Serapis night light, gaze at patterns for 1 minute while breathing slowly. The stable visual focus helps break repetitive thought cycles.

Children's Sleep Aid

Play gentle frequencies with soft-lit patterns to establish bedtime rituals and security. Children respond well to these non-verbal visual rhythms.

Tip: Best in soft lighting. No need to analyze patterns - simply see, feel, and let them accompany you.
