After You’ve Completed the 5-Minute Guided Session Please Share Your Experience Below:
How did you feel after the practice? Did you notice any shifts in your body, mind or emotions? Was there anything surprising or challenging about it?
I noticed that my exhale is longer and holding the exhale is more challenging than the holding of the inhale. I feel energized after 5 minutes.
Yes, I find the exhale hold to be the most challenging part of this technique. But it gets easier with practice!
So Relaxing!
Thank you, Karen! 🙏 Try it for a few days in a row and see how it affects your mood and energy!
This first experience led me to understand how I don’t fully exhale. Wow. How can I fully inhale if I don’t make room for more inspiration?
That’s a valuable insight, Peggy! With a little practice you’ll increase your inhale/exhale capacity. Try doing the practice once a day for a week and see if you notice a difference.
So very beautiful in every way – the visuals, the music…
Thank you so much for this wonderful gift.
Thank you for the kind words, Mano! I am happy you appreciate it 🙏
Very relaxing. Thank you!
Learned this many years ago as a pranayama style or mode, square mode. What a wonderfully simple yet powerful technique. A great way to energize and clear out. I set times of 8-18 seconds. Some slight modifications: the hold times on top & bottom get extended, making more of a rectangle. So: 4 in…8 hold…4 out…8 hold. Or swapped: 8 in…4 hold…8 out…4 hold.
Great experience
Good God this is wonderful!! 😍 I feel amazing now too!✨ thank you!!!!
Calming. The combination of visual and audio cues allowed open eyes and closed and supported the process. I feel more relaxed and present after.
Loved it… I sometimes wanted to inhale past the 5 seconds like I could take in more air so I had to concentrate. But like the online cues!
I felt wonderful and relaxed after. I am going to try this box breathing when I wake in the middle of the night with a little anxiety and find it hard to go back to sleep. I have a feeling this will help immensely and I am excited to try.
I didn’t realize how much tension I was holding until I tried this. By the end of the practice, I felt lighter and more present.
A really beautiful breath practice. I love the audio and visuals. I feel much more relaxed and centred now. Thank you!
