Hello and welcome.
This is a very quick and effective anxiety and panic relief tool called Triangle Breath.
Let's jump right in.
Open your front body.
Make sure you stand or sit in an upward and open position.
Feel free to move.
Breathe in through the nose if you can and out through the nose or through pursed lips if you want.
Imagine three sides of a triangle.
Inhale going up the peak of the triangle.
Exhale going down the peak of the triangle.
Hold the breath at the base of the triangle.
Just follow my voice.
Inhale up,
Exhale down.
Hold at base.
Now breathe normally and lightly and make your exhales slightly longer than your inhales.
Let's do that again.
Inhale up,
Exhale down.
Hold at base.
Now breathe normally and lightly and make your exhales slightly longer than your inhales.
Inhale up,
Exhale down.
Hold at base.

You're doing great.
All will be well.

Look around.
This tool is an adaptation to traditional box breathing technique,
Specialized to relieve anxiety quickly.
It helps to visualize going uphill,
Downhill,
And stabilize to keep your anxious mind visually occupied while you're building up CO2 levels in the blood.
Thank you,
Dear one,
For checking in and taking such good care of yourself.
Namaste.
