Sleep Breath (4-7-8)
$45
For breathwork facilitators
Breathwork music, paced to the breath.
Good breathwork music follows the pattern your clients are breathing. My breathwork toolkits have the pacing built in, so you can guide the session without counting out loud. One purchase covers every class, client and recording.
The breathwork toolkits
Three patterns, ready to play.
Each toolkit comes in 5, 10 and 20-minute versions. The 20-minute track gives you 10 minutes of paced breathing, then 10 minutes of calm music to rest in.
Matching music to the breath
Which music for which breath?
Match the music to the pattern first, then to the goal. Calming practice needs slow, even sound. Activating practice can carry more energy, but it still needs a steady pulse.
- 4-7-8 breathing. A long cycle with a hold in the middle. Sleep Breath marks each in, hold and out with soft cues, then drifts into a sleep tail.
- Box breathing. Four equal counts of four. Box Pacer uses a quiet tick at one beat per second, so the timing stays exact.
- Coherence breathing. About 5.5 seconds in and 5.5 seconds out, with no holds. Heart Coherence Loop moves in one smooth wave at that pace.
- Long connected sessions. These need music that lasts the full session and doesn't set a pace of its own. A 60-minute sound bed works well here.
I go into more detail in my guide on how to match music to the breath.
How practitioners use it
One track, the whole session.
01
1:1 sessions
Let the track pace the breath while you watch your client. Speak when it helps and stay quiet when it doesn't.
02
Group classes, in person or online
Everyone breathes to the same cue, in the room or on Zoom. You won't need to count over the music.
03
Recorded practices
Record your guidance over a toolkit and sell it as an audio practice, a course module or part of an app.
The licence
Royalty-free breathwork music, licensed for paid work.
Classes, 1:1 work, recordings, courses and apps are all covered by one purchase, for good. Nothing is registered with a PRO, so paid classes need no extra licence. The music isn't for all-day background play in a venue, and it can never be used to train AI.
Questions
Common questions
What BPM is best for breathwork music?
The breath pattern matters more than the BPM. Box breathing works well at one beat per second, which is 60 BPM. For coherence breathing, look for music that rises and falls about every 5.5 seconds.
Should breathwork music have a beat?
For paced patterns, a soft cue helps people keep time. For free breathing or rest, a beat can feel pushy. A smooth pad or drone is usually better there.
Can I use a Spotify playlist in my breathwork classes?
No. Streaming apps are licensed for personal listening only. Paid classes need music with a commercial licence, like the one that comes with every Melobleep purchase.
How long should a breathwork track be?
Long enough for the active breathing plus a rest at the end. That's why each toolkit has a 20-minute version, with 10 minutes of pacing and then 10 minutes to settle.
Do I still need to cue every breath?
Not with these toolkits. The pacing is built into the music, so you're free to watch your clients and speak only when it helps.
