Box Breathing Practice - 7 second intervals

Slowing and holding your breath is a powerful practice. It brings conscious attention to an autonomic activity, which gives you control over your internal state. We wanted to bring you progressively difficult exercises so that you can train your breath. Consider practicing while relaxing, resting, or as an aid to meditation. Box breathing is a popular practice, where breath holds are added in between both inhales and exhales. Box breathing practice is believed to reduce stress, anxiety and insomnia, while promoting cardiovascular functioning. Working through repeated breath holds will also allow us to develop CO2 tolerance and breath holding abilities. This box breathing guide will follow 7 second intervals for each interval of our breath. 0:00 - 0:48 Breathing Best Practices 0:49 - 8:20 Guided Box Breathing Exercise #breathebetter #boxbreathing #breathwork 7-7-7-7 7777
