Box Breathing For Anxiety Relief (Slower Counting)

Five Minute Box (Square) Breathing, Slower Version, Guided meditation by Zachary Phillips.

Use this practice in response to stressful events, to calm down after exercise, as a lead into a meditation session, and as a sleep aid.

By slowing down and controlling the breath (in for 6, hold for 6, out for 6, hold for 6) the practitioner triggers the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting anxiety relief, relaxation, and performance enhancement.
