The square breathing technique is a simple breathing exercise that can be performed by anyone interested in improving their focus and concentration. This technique is based on the principles of mindfulness and meditation, and it involves a series of gentle breaths taken through the nose.
To perform the square breathing technique, begin by finding a quiet place to sit comfortably. Close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose, filling your lungs with air. Then, expel that AIR out through your mouth, fully expanding your lungs. Repeat this process several times, focusing on the sensation of your breath as you exhale fully.
As you continue to breathe, try to focus on the sensation of your breath, feeling it expand your chest and abdomen. This will help to calm your mind and reduce anxiety. With practice, you can increase the length of your breaths, making them longer and deeper.
