Transcript

Welcome to the Box Breath Meditation.

The technique is simple.

We close our mouth and slowly inhale through the nose for 5 seconds,

Hold our breath for 5 seconds,

Exhale through the nose for 5 seconds and then hold the exhalation for another 5 seconds.

Is this breathing meditation sitting upright or standing up tall?

You can place one hand on the chest and the other hand on the lower stomach.

When breathing in,

Try to feel the air and see where it's entering.

Take a moment to settle in.

Set your practice intention.

Breathe in deeply,

Inhale through the nose and exhale completely through your mouth,

Getting all the oxygen out of your lungs.

Now you can close your eyes.

Inhale deeply into your nose.

Hold your breath inside.
