A new way to Box Breathe. These Box Breathing Breaks are designed to transport you to a place of tranquillity and equanimity by turning your attention inward and away from the noise that exists externally. In this session, I'll guide you to focus on your breath and keep the rhythm with a carefully chosen track.

Hey,

Welcome back.

Today we're doing an Afrobeat box breathing session.

This is another box breathing break for you.

And this time I'm giving you some feel good African vibes,

Taking you back to my hometown.

And box breathing,

In case you don't know,

Is just breathing in for four,

Holding for four,

Breathing out for four,

And then holding for four again.

Now I'll be guiding you through the whole thing,

So don't worry,

I'll be telling you exactly what to do and when to do it.

For the most part,

You're going to get a little chance to do it yourself too.

Otherwise,

Where's the fun in just listening to me,

Right?

What I need you to do now is close your eyes,

Get comfortable,

And begin to breathe in and out through your nose.

That's it for now.

Now,

Like I say,

I'm going to be your guide,

But so will this track.

So pay attention to both.

Start to embrace both.

My voice in your ears,

And hopefully this music slowly trickling into your soul.

Now with the eyes closed,

It's going to help you block out that external world and enjoy this internal world a bit more.

To start with though,

Let's focus on that breath,

And wherever you are in your breath cycle,

Breathe out fully now.

Let's breathe together.

Here we go.

Inhale.

This is the most fun I've ever had breathing! What a glorious way to start the day!. This will be a new daily for me. Also, I have been listening to your meditation about listening to the news. It has been so helpful during this troubling time. I was unable to leave a review, though. For some reason the app wouldn't let me. 😏 As always, thank you for what you do and for lifting us up. 🙏
