Box breathing, also called square breathing, is a grounding technique where you inhale, hold, exhale, and hold again—each for equal counts, typically four. This rhythmic pattern activates your parasympathetic nervous system, calming your mind and body. Practiced by athletes and military personnel, box breathing reduces stress, enhances focus, and promotes emotional balance through gentle, intentional breath awareness.
