Modified Square Breathing
When beginning to practice breathing exercises, it is helpful to practice in phases.
This modified square breathing practice can help you begin to play with breathing exercises that include breath retention.
Pausing the breath can sometimes feel stressful or triggering at first so I find it helpful to ease in with a modified version first.
In this practice, we will:
-Inhale for 3
-Pause for 2
-Exhale for 3
-Pause for 2
You can practice this exercise anytime you'd like to feel more grounded and to calm the nervous system.
