Four equal sides. The counting gives a busy mind something small and exact to do, which is often all it needs.
How to do it
- 1Sit upright, feet on the floor.
- 2In through your nose for four. Hold for four.
- 3Out for four. Hold for four. Follow the circle.
Take care. The holds are short. If they feel uncomfortable, skip them and breathe in and out for four. Stop if you feel light-headed.
Promising. A common paced-breathing technique. Away has not measured this session.
