Box / 4/4 Breathing.
4 is the number of the base chakra, in sacred geometry the number 4 is linked into the Hexahedron (Cube). Working with this number, and the shape of the square or cube can help to bring a sense of balance and stability. Linking into this energy can be done in a number of ways. You can carry hexahedron shaped crystals, draw squares or cubes, work with the element of Earth, but a very simple way to link into this grounding and balancing energy is to use box breathing. This is a breath work technique that takes just over a minute to complete and involves inhaling for a count of 4, holding for a count of 4, exhaling for a count of 4, holding for a count of 4, 4 times – doing this 4 times a day for 4 days can help bring a sense of balance. This is great for times of stress or anxiety, if you find yourself over thinking, struggling with overwhelm or just needing to take a moment to reset.
If you, like many others, struggle with the counting and keeping track of breaths I have a short video about this and I take you through a very quick guided box breathing exercise.
