Box Breathing is a scientifically proven way to calm down and activate the so-called parasympathetic nervous system, our rest and recovery mode. Often referred to as 'square breathing' or 'tactical breathing,' Box Breathing is a rhythmic pattern that anchors your mind to your breath. Picture a box, with each side representing a motion - inhale, hold, exhale, hold - each lasting for four, unhurried seconds. The magic of this technique, like other forms of cadence breathing, lies in its repetition. Our brains are wired to recognize patterns, and when we provide a clear, consistent pattern, our brains take note. It's like declaring, 'I'm taking control.' And this simple act of assertion calms the central nervous system almost instantly. A little bit about myself: I'm Kitaro, a Movement, Kung Fu, and breathwork practitioner and teacher. I don't like fitness. Instead, I like to combine Movement with philosophical thinking – if that makes sense. I try to publish weekly videos. So, if you like my vibe, please subscribe to this channel.
