Breathing and Hypnosis

The Power of Breathing to Calm Your Mind and Body

Box breathing:

Inhale for a count of 4, hold for a count of 4, exhale for a count of 4, and hold for a count of 4. Repeat for several cycles.

Place one hand on your chest and the other on your belly. Take a slow, deep breath in through your nose, filling your belly with air. Exhale slowly through your mouth, pushing all the air out of your belly.
