This technique uses a three-part breath pattern, as if you are drawing a triangle. The brief hold after exhaling helps to gently calm your nervous system. It's a simple way to regulate your breath and create a sense of stability when you're feeling numb and overwhelmed. This practice supports your unhealthy parasympathetic nervous system, gently guiding you towards a more balanced state.
