Box Breath

Four counts in, hold, out, hold

Used under pressure by divers, surgeons and soldiers

In for four, hold for four, out for four, hold for four. A square you can lean on when things are moving too fast. The holds are what make it work, small moments of stillness your body reads as safety.

1. 1Inhale through the nose for four counts
2. 2Hold gently for four
3. 3Exhale for four
4. 4Hold empty for four, then repeat for four minutes
