Box Breathing

This breathing exercise is great for de-stressing and grounding yourself for meditation.

To start, get into a comfortable seated position, straighten your spine, keep your hands relaxed by your sides or on your lap, and legs relaxed with your feet on the ground.

Inhale deeply, counting 4 beats.

Continue by holding that breath and counting another 4 beats.

Exhale slowly for another 4 beats.

Hold for another 4 beats.

Repeat 3 or 4 times.

*For help pacing, you can use a 60 bpm metronome, which can be found on any music streaming platform or Youtube.
