Box Breathing for Arousal Control
Box breathing for at least five minutes can provide arousal control benefits by helping individuals to ease excess stress and shift from a hyper-aroused state to a calmer parasympathetic response. Progressively increasing the duration of box breathing up to 20 minutes is recommended to fully leverage its stress-reducing effects. This practice is particularly beneficial for individuals overwhelmed by Western society's high-stress lifestyle, offering a way to counter the mind-generated stress and rebalance the nervous system for better overall health and well-being.
