Box breathing is a simple relaxation technique that can help you “reset your breathing” and return it to its normal rhythm.
This video demonstrates box breathing and highlights its benefits.
In short, this involves:
– Imagine breathing around a box
– Inhale as you visualize moving up one side of the box, pause then exhale while you imagine moving down the other side of the box.
In times of stress and anxiety, box breathing is a simple way to slow down and help calm your body and mind.
Many thanks to Dr. Joanna Mansfield, psychiatrist at Sunnybrook Women's Mood and Anxiety Clinic and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Clinic for her expertise and the voice of this box breathing video.
