Global Breathe Along

Four slow minutes, together. At 11:11 in your own time zone this page starts a gentle breath by itself: in for 4, out for 6. As the clock reaches 11:11 in one place after another, the same breath rolls around the world. It is free for everyone, with no book, no account and nothing recorded.

Keep my screen awake while I wait

Leave this page open before 11:11. If you arrive late, it picks up in the middle of the breath, so you are still in step. The calendar reminder rings five minutes before 11:11 in whatever time zone your calendar is in.

Cues

Nothing about you is stored or sent. Your time zone is read from your device to work out your 11:11. Choose a soft tone before 11:11 if you want to hear it begin.

Around the world

The wave, place by place

It begins at Kiritimati, where 11:11 on 11 November is 21:11 UTC on 10 November, and reaches American Samoa 25 hours later. The times on the right are on your own clock. See the wave on the world map, beside the 33 launches of the book.

How it works

Open this page before 11:11

Use a phone, a laptop or a screen in the room. At 11:11 on your clock the guide starts by itself. Put your phone down on a table if you like; the orb and the count are large.

One breath, one rhythm

In for 4, out for 6, for four minutes: 24 breaths, with no breath-holding and no fast breathing. Every time zone's clock sits on a quarter-hour and one breath takes 10 seconds, so if your device clock is right you breathe in step with everyone else.

Miss it? Join any time

The guide is yours all day on 11 November and every day after. You can practise it right now to see how it feels. The 33-day practice it comes from is here, free, with no book needed.

A note on the date

11 November is also a day of remembrance

In many countries 11 November is Remembrance Day, Armistice Day or Veterans Day, and in the UK and parts of the Commonwealth a two-minute silence is kept at 11:00. If that matters to you, keep it first. These four minutes begin eleven minutes later and are offered with respect for everyone who remembers.

Safety first

A gentle breath, with a few clear rules

Sit or lie down somewhere safe. Never do this while driving, cycling, swimming, in the bath or while using machinery.
There are no breath-holds and no rapid breathing here. If counting feels tense, breathe at your own pace or simply sit quietly with the orb.
If you are pregnant or have a heart, lung or blood-pressure condition, epilepsy, a panic disorder or a history of fainting, check with your doctor first, and feel free to follow your natural breath instead of the count.
Stop and breathe normally if you feel dizzy, uncomfortable or anxious. This is educational, not medical advice.

Keep it on your phone

Add Breathe Along to your home screen

It opens full-screen like an app, works without a connection once opened, and takes almost no space. It is still just this free page: no store, no account.

For schools, workplaces, congregations, clinics and families

Host a Breathe Along

You need a room, a screen and four minutes. Nobody has to register, and you do not need to tell us you did it.

Open this page on the room's screen at about 11:05 on 11 November, by your own clock, and turn the sound to a soft tone if you want one. It begins at 11:11 by itself.
Read the short welcome below and the safety line. Ask anyone who prefers not to follow the count to sit quietly or breathe naturally.
Let the four minutes run. Then stay quiet for a few more breaths, and thank everyone.

Welcome to read aloud (30 seconds)

Welcome. For the next four minutes we are going to breathe together, slowly, at the same moment as people in other time zones who are doing the same at their own 11:11. Sit comfortably with your feet on the floor and your hands resting. Breathe in through the nose as the circle grows, and out, longer, as it shrinks. There is nothing to hold and nothing to force. If anything feels uncomfortable, return to your normal breathing or simply sit quietly. You are free to stop at any time. Here we go.

Safety line to read before you start

This is a gentle breathing practice with no breath-holding and no fast breathing. It is not medical advice. If you are pregnant, or have a heart, lung or blood-pressure condition, epilepsy, a panic disorder or a history of fainting, please feel free to follow your natural breath instead of the count. If you feel dizzy or uncomfortable, stop and breathe normally.
