BOX BREATHING

Box breathing, also known as square breathing, is a powerful yet simple technique used to calm the mind and regulate the autonomic nervous system. It is particularly useful in reducing stress and enhancing focus. Sit comfortably with your back straight, ensuring your posture is open yet relaxed. Rest your hands on your lap or knees, and gently close your eyes. Begin by taking a deep breath in through your nose to a count of four, filling your lungs completely. Hold your breath for a count of four, feeling the stillness within your body. Exhale slowly and evenly through your mouth for a count of four, releasing all the air from your lungs. Once your lungs are empty, hold your breath again for a count of four, experiencing the pause between breaths. Repeat this cycle for at least 5 to 10 minutes. Visualize a square in your mind's eye, tracing its sides with each phase of your breath. Inhale for four counts as you trace one side, hold for four counts along the next, exhale for four counts down the third side, and hold again for four counts to complete the square. Allow the rhythm of your breath to bring a sense of calm and balance to your mind and body.
