How to Follow the Physiological Sigh at 150% Browser Zoom

Who this is for: Anyone using a desktop browser with zoom or large system fonts — and anyone who wants the fastest known way to offload adrenaline.

Ruth is in her late 60s, newly diagnosed, and uses a five-year-old Windows laptop with her browser zoomed to 150%. Her protocol is the physiological sigh: a double inhale followed by a long exhale. The flow's most animated screen has to survive zoom without becoming unusable — that's what this guide walks through.

Steps

1. Tap the Breathing card on Home. At 150% zoom, every element on Home is readable and visible — no clipped content, no horizontal scrolling.

2. Select the physiological sigh from the protocol picker. The picker lists all four patterns with their names fully visible at your zoom level.

3. Follow the pacer through a full cycle. The double inhale and long exhale are paced visually, with phase labels that are large and count-free. You never have to read small text or remember numbers.

4. Complete the session. The pacer respects your system's reduced-motion setting: if your system requests reduced motion, the animated pacer becomes a static progress ring with phase text instead.

Expected Outcome

A full physiological sigh session completes at 150% zoom with every element readable and visible. Home renders normally afterward.

Notes

• Zoom is a supported way to use this app, not an edge case. The layout reflows at 150% zoom without clipping or horizontal scroll — on the pacer screen most of all.
• Reduced motion changes the animation, not the guidance. The static progress ring carries the same phase information as the animated version.
• The physiological sigh works when counting is hard. Unlike box breathing or 4-7-8, there are no held counts to track — the pacer does all the pacing.
• Keyboard works throughout. Every control in the flow is reachable by keyboard, and Esc leaves the flow calmly.
