Intermediate Box-Breathing, 6 Second Box

Slightly harder than Beginner Box-Breathing and not as hard as Advanced Box-Breathing, Intermediate Box-Breathing is a challenging set of 10 boxes. 6-second breath in, followed by 6-second hold, then 6-second breath out, followed by 6-second hold. You should attempt this after completing Beginner. Enjoy!

Transcript

This is my intermediate box breathing. You will breathe in for six seconds, Hold for six seconds, Breathe out for six seconds, And hold for six seconds. When you breathe in, You'll want to get a full lung of air. As much air as you can get into your lungs within those six seconds. And then as you hold, Prepare to release all of your air during the exhale. And when you're at the bottom of the exhale, Bring your stomach to your spine and make sure and get all of the air out of your lungs. We'll repeat this process ten times. Begin by pushing your navel to the spine and breathing out all of your air. Now breathe in, Hold, Breathe out, Hold, Breathe out. Ah, Hold, Breathe in, Hold, Breathe out. Ah, Breathe in, Hold, Breathe out. Ah, Hold, Breathe in, Hold, Breathe out. Ah, Breathe in, Hold, Breathe out. Ah, Hold, Breathe in, Hold, Breathe out. Ah, Breathe in, Breathe out. Ah, Breathe in, Hold, Breathe out. Hold, Breathe in, Hold, Breathe out. Ah, Hold. That concludes the practice. Breathe normally. If you'd like to pause here and continue with meditation, Please do. Thank you for joining me.

Reviews

Thank you! Your guidance was enough to keep me on track but not so constant as to overpower my meditation. And it lowered my diastolic blood pressure 10 points to 67! A real winner, and I thank you.

Very powerful, a great stretch for the lungs and really calming. Thank you

Merci

Nice meditation and minimal dialogue before actually starting.

Simple guided box breathing. Good, clear explanation at the start then just prompts. Excellent!
