Transcript

Over the years,

I have found that meditation is extremely beneficial to use during transitions from one activity to another.

It supports you to arrive at your next activity fully present and not carrying over what just happened or ruminating over the past and future.

So what I have found works really well is box breathing.

It acts as a way of bringing your attention to your breath and giving your mind something else to engage in.

How do we do it?

Breathe in for four counts,

Out for four and pause for four counts.

So as an example,

Breathing in two,

Three,

Four,

Out two,

Three,

Four,

Pause two,

Three,

Four.

And then we take another in-breath and repeat that again.

Let's do that together for three breaths.

I will count you through this exercise.

However,

If you find the four counts isn't the right fit,

Please adapt it to make it work for you and your breath.

For example,

Three counts may feel better for you and your breath.

Let's do that for three breaths together.

Breathing in two,

Three,

Four,

Out two,

Three,

Four,

Hold two,

Three,

Four.

In two,

Three,

Four,

Out two,

Three,

Four,

Hold two,

Three,

Four.

In two,

Three,

Four,

Out two,

Three,

Four,

Hold two,

Three,

Four.

Observing your breath as it returns back to its normal pace.

How do you feel?

Observing your breath and your body,

Taking your time to move to the next activity.

Enjoy moving forward with a clearer mind.

Quick note - lovely quick session but this is a variant of triangle, not box breathing which is 4 parts with a hold after both inhale and exhale.
