Box Breathing (Square Breathing)
For those who might not know, box breathing is used when a person is anxious or edgy. The nervous system can be calmed down through this technique. Box breathing is done in steps. Below, we will discuss the steps and how to combat it.
- Start inhaling for 4 seconds through your nose.
- Now, pause for 4 seconds, holding your breath.
- Gently exhale through your mouth while counting to four
- Finish by holding your breath for another four seconds.
- Repeat this cycle 4-5 times, counting your fingers and giving them the outer body state to relax and wish.
While box breathing, it is essential to make all attempts to ignore your surroundings. Breathe easy and take in the suggestions above.

3. Diaphragmatic (Belly) Breathing
This is great for when you feel tense and need to feel grounded. Diaphragmatic breathing engages your core respire muscles, which helps slow down your heart rate and reduce blood pressure.
How to do it:
- Sit or lie down in a comfortable position.
- Place one hand on your chest and the other on your belly.
- Take a deep breath in by your nose while allowing your stomach to expand, although your chest should remain still.
- Breathe out slowly through your mouth while allowing your stomach to deflate.
- Do it for 5 to 10 minutes. You will feel calm and focused.

4. Alternate Nostril Breathing (Nadi Shodhana)
Do you feel unbalanced or scattered? This nostril exercise is beneficial for clearing your mind and balancing energy for those who practice yoga. It is wonderfully helpful before meditation.
How to do it:
- Sit in a comfortable position and place your left hand on your lap.
- With your right thumb, close the right nostril. Take a deep breath through the left nostril.
- Use your ring finger to close the left nostril. Breathe out through the right nostril.
- Inhale from the right side, close it and exhale from the left.
- For five minutes, continue this cycle.
Pro tip: Use the Lavender Eye Mask to set the mood in a quiet area. This combination allows suckers to fully embrace the benefits of the practice.
5. Pursed lip breathing
Even though this relaxation technique is straightforward, it is beneficial, especially when feeling breathless or panicky. This method reduces your breathing rate and keeps the airways open for longer.
- Inhale through your nose for 2 seconds.
- Exhale through pursed lips for 4 seconds.
- Repeat this process a couple of times when you are feeling stressed.
