Box breathing is a technique commonly used to relieve tension and stress. It is used by Navy Seals and Russian Special Forces in tense situations, as controlling how we breathe can help us gain control over how we react and respond. Box breathing thinking of our breathing in 4 parts - inhale, pause, exhale, pause - and balancing the length of these 4 parts. Episode begins with a little description of box breathing and then a guided practice.

This episode is a rerecording of episode number 47. It recently came to my attention that the audio quality in some of the previous episodes is not great. I record and edit all the episodes of this podcast myself, while trying to juggle a busy professional and family life. I didn't do as good a job of this as I could have at times. The audio quality here should be a bit better, and I do apologize to anyone who has listened to an episode with poor quality in the past.
