Box Breathing (4 & 5 Count)

This box breathing meditation starts with a 4 second box breathing (breath in for 4, hold for 4, breath out for 4, hold for 4) then transitions to a 5 second box breathing counts. Finishing with some time in the end with normal breathing. If you find the 4 or 5 count challenging move to a 2 or 3 count then work your way back up. Often the more you force the harder it is, so focus on relaxing & releasing the need to control as you breathe. Remember, this is a practice, every day will be different.
