Hey Demples, welcome back to another Temple Tuesday! Today we will be talking about our very first meditation/grounding technique: box breathing.
Now, box breathing is rather simple. All you have to do is inhale for 4 seconds, hold it for 4 seconds, exhale for 4 seconds, hold it for 4 seconds, and repeat as many times as you need to re-center yourself.
Box breathing helps soothe your parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for bringing your body back to a state of calm. A few things that box breathing may help with include:
- Coping with panic and stress
- Sleeping in cases of insomnia
- Focusing in busy or stressful situations
- Keeping calm when preparing for a long or busy day
Visit our instagram @dells.temple to take a minute to breathe with us. Happy Temple Tuesday everyone!
