It’s Hip to Breathe Square
Square Breathing is used by US Navy Seals among others to create calmness and control.
· Sit or lie down so you are relaxed and comfortable
· Breathe in for a count of four as you draw one side of a ‘square’ in your mind
· Pause and hold the breath for a count of four, as you mentally draw the second side
· Exhale for another count of four, picturing the third side of the square
· And then hold for the count of four as you complete the shape
· Repeat the cycle for progressively longer counts until you feel calmer. The longer time periods will help you strengthen and control your diaphragm, the ‘pump’ which regulates the airflow from your lungs to your folds.
