Welcome to Box Breathing.
This breathing technique works by gently activating the parasympathetic nervous system.
Part of your body responsible for rest,
Repair and recovery.
When the exhale is longer than the inhale,
The body receives a clear signal that it is safe to relax.
Heart rate begins to slow and muscle tension softens.
And stress hormones gradually decrease over time.
This pattern helps shift the body out of alertness.
And into a state that supports the deep.
Natural sleep.
You do not need to force the breath.
Or do it perfectly.
The body responds simply to the rhythm.
Take a moment to find.
A comfortable position.
Whether you are sitting upright.
Or lying down.
Close your eyes and notice your breath as it is.
Without trying to change it.
Feel the cool air entering your nose and the warm air leaving your body through your mouth.
Doc's breathing is a simple,
Powerful tool to reset your nervous system.
We will breathe in for a count of four,
Hold for four,
Exhale for four,
And hold the empty space for four.
Over the next few minutes,
Expect your heart rate to slow down.
Expect that tight feeling in your chest to soften.
If your mind wanders,
It's okay.
That's just your body shifting gears.
Prepare by taking a deep cleansing breath into the nose.
Had a long,
Slow sigh out through the mouth.
Empty your lungs completely.
Let's begin.
Inhale slowly through the nose.
Three.
For.
Hold that breath at the top.
Two,
Three.
4.
Exhale gently through the mouth.
2.
3.
Holds the lungs empty too.
3.
And how slowly,
Too.
3.
Hold that breath.
Two.
3.
Exhale gently to release.
For hold to.
If your thoughts are loud,
Just listen to my voice and howl slowly too.
4.
Hold that breath.
2.
3.
4,
Exhale gently,
2,
For old too.
3.
And how slowly,
Too.
3.
Four.
Hold that breath.
Two.
3.
Exhale gently to release.
3.
For old too.
3.
Just let your breath go back to its natural rhythm.
You're getting sleepy.
And soon you will be asleep.
