Box Breathing Demonstration by Heidi Skok

The Six Simple Steps for Box breathing -
1. Choose a count. Starting with a count of 4 is the best and the easiest and then begin to build your intake count up from there. I am now at an inhaling count of 16! That’s fabulous for me-I had started at a 4.
2. Prior to inhaling, hold your breath for a 4 count. You determine the speed of your count, what feels right, comfortable and easy for you.
3. Inhale through the nose for a count of 4, to your own determined counting speed.
4. Hold your inhaled air for a count of 4, in the same pace as you have inhaled.
5. Exhale gently from your mouth, like you are lightly blowing out a birthday candle to a count of 4 at your own pace.
6. Begin again with the holding of a four count then proceed to inhale for 4 and so on. I recommend at least five rounds.
I suggest that you work for a week at a 4 count, four times a day.
The following week, work at a 5 count, and the week after that, a 6 count and so on and so on.
Let me know in the comments below how you feel and the progress you are making. I can’t wait to hear from you!
