Box breathing (also known as square breathing or Sam Vritti breath) is a powerful technique used to calm the nervous system. In fact, even the U.S. Navy SEALs, use this method to manage stress and maintain focus in high-pressure situations. Box breathing involves breathing around the shape of a box, it can help to visualise drawing around a box while following an even-count pattern: Eg: inhale for 4 seconds, hold the breath for 4 seconds, exhale for 4 seconds, and hold the breath out for 4 seconds. Repeat this cycle for 2-5 minutes. The key is to keep the counts even, whether it's 2, 4, 6, or any other count that feels comfortable. This technique can be practiced anywhere, making it an accessible tool for reducing anxiety, enhancing focus, and promoting overall well-being.
