The square - or box - breath practice has been found to be effective in helping to down regulate, reducing stress and anxiety. So in this practice, I explain how to approach your square breathing practice, including considerations to keep in mind for adjustment as needed, and then take you through a completely guided practice of it. 

Generally, box-breathing has been found to assist in these areas by working with your autonomic nervous system (ANS):

  • Lower blood pressure
  • Invite a sense of calm
  • Help manage anxiety, depression, PTSD, and insomnia (in some cases)
  • Reduce perceived stress
  • Assist in pain management.

As always, take this at your own pace. And please remember, if you have any health conditions where holding the breath could exacerbate your symptoms or be detrimental to your experience, please don't.
