What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is a mental state and practice that involves paying deliberate attention to the present moment, without judgment or attachment. It is the quality of being fully engaged and aware of one's thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and the surrounding environment.

In mindfulness, the focus is on experiencing the present moment as it is, rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. It involves observing thoughts and emotions without getting caught up in them, allowing one to cultivate a sense of clarity, calmness, and non-reactivity. One way you can bring yourself back into the present moment in through the box breathing method.

Box Breathing encourages you to pay close attention to your breath and the rhythmic pattern of inhaling, holding, exhaling, and holding again. By focusing your awareness on each breath and the present moment, you engage in mindfulness practice. It helps you anchor your attention to the sensations of breathing, fostering a state of presence and mindfulness.

Box Breathing Method

The Box Breathing method, also known as square breathing or four-square breathing, is a simple yet effective breathing technique used to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and increase focus. It involves consciously controlling your breath by inhaling, holding the breath, exhaling, and holding again, each for an equal count of time, typically in a square pattern.

Step 1: Breathe in counting to four slowly. Feel the air enter your lungs.
Step 2: Hold your breath for 4 seconds. Try to avoid inhaling or exhaling for 4 seconds.
Step 3: Slowly exhale through your mouth for 4 seconds.
Step 4: Repeat steps 1 to 3 until you feel re-centered
