Square Breathing for Anxiety | Balanced & Blissful

Показать описание
Square breathing is a technique in which you visualize tracing the lines of a square with each inhale and exhale. It is helpful for anxiety and stress relief because it helps to calm and regulate the autonomic nervous system.

This video also encourages taking deep belly breaths, as anxiety can leave you breathing shallowly. Breathing shallowly or hyperventilating can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, dizziness, and nausea, which only exacerbate anxiety.

If you feel that way during this video, try to intentionally stick out your belly as you breathe to encourage your lungs to fill up completely. You can also shorten the holds to a count of two (inhale for four, hold for two, exhale for four, hold for two) when you are first starting!

This video guides you through 10 deep belly square breaths starting at 0:20. Then at 3:13 there is a brief explanation and tutorial for belly breathing. I wanted to get right into the breathing so that you could bookmark this video and use it when you feel extra anxious, or feel a panic attack coming on!

I hope you find this video beneficial, and feel free to comment if you do!
