A little fun fact – Navy Seals use Box Breathing techniques to stay calm in high stress situations. The premise behind box breathing is to imagine a box - as you go up the box you inhale, pausing as you go across the box, exhaling as you go down the box, and pausing as you go across the bottom of the box. And repeat – ideally for at least 4 rounds. In this Box Breathing Relaxation Meditation to Reduce Anxiety, I go by the count of 4. However, you can go by any count you wish, as long as it is even along all sides of the box. I hope you enjoy and find this Box Breathing Relaxation Meditation to Reduce Anxiety useful for you to either promote relaxation during the day or evening, or using it when you feel anxious, stressed, or a panic attack rising.

This video is designed for when you are short on time. Whether it is in the morning before you go to work, at a lunch-break, before the kids get back from school, or part of your evening routine before bed.

The visualization portion is not only designed as a meditative aspect at the time, it is also designed to trigger off a good memory that you can then call upon in stressful and anxious moments. Practicing this every day not only aids in learning to ‘consciously’ breath deeper, it is designed to redirect unhelpful emotions to more useful ones. Enjoy! Music by NaturesEye from Pixabay.com
