Enjoy the calming ocean sunset as we explore the Square Breathing Technique. You can use this breath to help release tension, reduce anxiety and create more calm focus in your day.
The square breath is designed to create balance and help cleanse your entire nervous system by inhaling and exhaling in equal parts. It is called square breathing because you create a box with your breath. As you practice this technique and your lung capacity expands, you can begin to increase the number of seconds from 4 to 5 to 6 and so on.
Note: Not all breathing techniques are for everyone. If you have any medical condition that might be adversely affected by slowing down your breathing or holding your breath, please consult with your doctor first. This can include cardiovascular problems, epilepsy, and asthma. If you have any other physical impairments or limitations, please be sure to check with your physician before using this or any of Sarah's programs.
