Technique

Box Breathing

Equal-length inhale, hold, exhale, hold — a four-sided rhythm that steadies the nervous system and builds comfort with mild breath-holding, useful under stress or mental overload.

How

Inhale 4s → hold 4s (keep the throat open and relaxed) → exhale 4s → hold 4s. Repeat for a few minutes, nasal breathing throughout.
