Breathwork for Grounding

Tight chest, shaking hands, lightheadedness. These are all signals our bodies can send when they’re in a state of anxiety. It can feel like there’s NOTHING you can do to stop it from rising, but before it gets out of hand, come back to your breath. There are many different breath work techniques you can find online, but this one is a favorite of mine that helps you get out of your mind and into your body.

Box Breathing is a simple method you can use anything, anywhere. In the car, at your desk, in a crowded grocery store, you can take this tool with you wherever anxiety follows you. This breath helps to recalibrate your nervous system, shifting you out of fight or flight into a more neutral space. It’s easy to do and doesn’t require much practice to get into the rhythm.

1. Breathe in through your nose for four counts.

2. Pause at the top for four counts.

3. Exhale through your mouth or nose for another four counts.

4. Pause for four counts at the bottom of the breath.

You don’t have to be experiencing anxiety, you can use this breath in your meditation practice too! Try it out and let me know what you think!
