Toolkit Tuesday – Box breathing 04/29/25
In this Toolkit Tuesday session, Dr. Stacy introduces box breathing, a popular breath regulation technique designed to promote calm and expand breath capacity. The method involves four equal phases: inhale, hold, exhale, and hold again—each typically starting at four seconds and adjustable based on comfort and experience. She guides listeners through four rounds of this technique and encourages experimenting with longer durations over time. Box breathing gently challenges the nervous system, helping build focus and resilience. Dr. Stacy invites participants to try the practice, reflect on how it feels, and share their experiences to support the community’s growth.
