Box Breathing for Absolute Beginners (Step-By-Step Guide)

Box breathing, also referred to as square breathing, is a potent breathing method with a long history of promoting relaxation, reducing anxiety, and sharpening focus. It’s a simple yet effective breathing technique where you follow a specific breathing pattern: you take a deep breath for a fixed count, hold your breath for the same count, exhale for the same duration, and then hold your breath again for that count. Continue this rhythmic breathing cycle for the entire 5 minutes. If you’re new to box breathing, it can be particularly helpful to follow a guided breathing meditation. These guided sessions provide valuable support in maintaining focus and relaxation while practicing the technique. Whether you prefer to call it square breathing or box breathing, this technique offers a straightforward yet powerful means to quiet your mind and relax your body. Dedicate just 5 minutes of your day to practicing box breathing, and you’ll likely experience reduced stress, anxiety, improved concentration, and a growing sense of inner tranquility. #boxbreathing #breathwork #guidedbreathing #breathingexercises #breathingexercise Song: Kevin MacLeod [Official] - Garden Music (CC) DISCLAIMER: I the author and publisher of this material am not responsible in any manner whatsoever for any injury that may occur through following the instructions that this material contains.
