Amberfield Begin the Slow Unwind

A twelve-minute program

The Slow Unwind.
Twelve minutes, most evenings.

Recorded by instructor Wren Castellano in a cabin outside Missoula, the Slow Unwind is a twelve-minute sit built for the hour between dinner and sleep. No app chimes. No streak shame. Just a warm voice and a place to put your shoulders down.

Before you press play

Four counts in. Seven counts held. Eight counts out.

This is the same box-breath Wren opens every recording with. The circle below fills as you inhale, holds, and empties as you exhale — matched to a 4-7-8 count. Follow it once through, or just read the counts if you'd rather keep the motion off.

  1. Inhale through the nose for 4 counts
  2. Hold gently for 7 counts
  3. Exhale through the mouth for 8 counts
  4. Repeat three times, or until your shoulders drop

“You don't need a silent room. You need one full exhale you actually finish.”
