Hi friend,
It's Jax from Stressed to Zen and welcome to this track,
Box Breathing to help you sleep.
Take two long deep breaths in through your nose.
And exhale,
Release,
Let it go.
Do that one more time.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Soften your eyes.
Create space between the lips.
Release the shoulders.
Box breathing is a simple relaxation technique.
It's going to help you feel ease and remove stress.
And it can also help you sleep.
And it's really easy to do.
So let's do it together.
With box breathing,
I want you to imagine breathing around a box with its four sides.
We'll inhale to four.
Hold the breath for four.
Exhale for four.
And then hold that for four.
Creating a box with our breath.
And when you breathe,
I really want you to focus on the breath.
Let it soothe you.
Let it support you.
Ready?
Take an exhale out your nose wherever you're at.
And then we'll begin.
