# The B.R.E.A.T.H.E. Method and BREAVA

Originally developed by Dr. Kennedy as a practical approach to reducing emotional and physiologic stress, the B.R.E.A.T.H.E. method is a seven-step stress-reduction method designed to help individuals reduce emotional and physiologic stress.

## The seven steps
1. Begin: Pause, be present, and set your intention.
2. Relax: Release tension and calm your body.
3. Envision: Imagine a healthier, calmer, stronger you.
4. Apply: Use what you learn in daily life.
5. Treat: Be kind to yourself and care for your needs.
6. Heal: Build resilience and restore balance.
7. End: Take a moment to reflect and carry the calm forward.

## BREAVA
The B.R.E.A.T.H.E. method is now incorporated into BREAVA™, a physician-led digital stress-reduction platform designed to make physician-led stress reduction accessible at work, at home, and in everyday life.
