Box Breathing for Physiological, Psychological, and Spiritual Benefits
Box breathing entails slowing down breathing to six breaths per minute with a pattern of five seconds in, five seconds out. This practice brings physiological, psychological, and emotional benefits while enhancing attention control, concentration, and mindfulness. The technique involves stacked practices of attention control, concentration, witnessing, and visualization, culminating in creating a memory of a desired future. By evoking this vision regularly, individuals can stay grounded in their purpose and identity, fostering resilience and positivity in challenging times. It is recommended to start with a minimum of five minutes of box breathing and gradually increase to 20 minutes for optimal arousal control benefits.
