Welcome and thank you for joining me today for this quick box breathing session.
I love this method because it is a great way to reset your nervous system which will help you feel grounded and less anxious.
So if you can find yourself in a comfortable seat with feet flat on the ground or perhaps for some of you,
You prefer to lay down.
Just basically find comfort,
Spend a few moments doing that and then once you find your most comfortable starting position,
Begin to relax and release all that came before this time right here right now and allow yourself these next few moments to be fully present in body and mind.
Before we begin,
I want you to take note of how you are feeling so that after this practice you will be able to recognize any shifts.
So just begin by taking regular breaths in and out.
Begin to relax your forehead and unclench all the muscles in your face.
Relax the shoulders down your back and just notice your breath.
For this method,
We will be breathing in for 4 and then we hold and then we exhale for 4 and then we hold and then we inhale for 4 and then we hold and we do this cycle anywhere from 5 to 8 times.
Basically,
However much time you have to do it will be beneficial.
So I just want you to start by taking a nice deep breath in through your nose and then just letting it all go out through your mouth.
Deep exhale.
Do another one like this.
Inhale through your nose and then just letting it all go and then we will begin.
So let's inhale 2,
3,
4,
Hold 2,
3,

Exhale 2,
3,
4,
Hold 2,

Inhale 2,

Exhale 2,
3,
4,
Hold 2,
3,
4 and pause and just return to your natural breath and just begin to notice now that we are complete.
Notice if there is a shift in how you're feeling just taking note and hopefully you are feeling lighter in your body and your mind and I want you to know that you can return to this practice as often as you need to throughout the day.
Whenever you're feeling stressed or life is just overwhelming,
Just take the time to just pause and breathe.
I hope you enjoyed the practice and I'm sending you peace and love to the rest of your day.
