The power of your breath.
Join me here in a calming, 5 Minute Breathwork practice, focused on helping calm the overall nervous system.The center around this meditation is your breath, and the cycles of square (box) breathing works to ease the mind, bring your body back to a calm state, relax the brain and provide you with an overall reset.
Square breathing is simple and effective that can help offer several benefits:

* Enhanced Respiratory Control: It improves respiratory muscle control and lung function.
