  • Box Breathing

    Hello and welcome to this episode!

    Traditionally, Box breathing, also known as four-square breathing, involves exhaling to a count of four, holding your lungs empty for a four-count, inhaling at the same pace, and holding air in your lungs for a count of four before exhaling and beginning the pattern anew.

    Some benefits of box breathing, include:

    • Reduces physical stress symptoms in the body.
    • Positively affects emotions and mental well-being.
    • Increases mental clarity, energy, and focus.
    • Improves future reactions to stress.
    • This technique can be beneficial to anyone, especially those who want to meditate or reduce stress. It's used by everyone from athletes to U.S. Navy SEALs, police officers, and nurses.

      The way I practice box breathing is imagining a window. And following my inhalation, pause, exhalation, pause using the 4 sides of the window frame. You are welcome to try this technique using the traditional way counting to 4 but if you want to try something slightly different join me for the next few moments….


      As always, my doors are open to anyone looking to get some help letting go of limiting beliefs, create more resourceful habits and heal the relationship with themselves.

    • Movement, creativity and ramble
      Hi! Todays episode is about movement (sort of)
      According to studies exercise can increase neuroplasticity – the ability to create new neural connections. This appears to be the link to enhancements in your mood and decision-making capabilities, and creativity.
      https://www.on-running.com/en-gb/articles/how-movement-boosts-creativity
      In fact, many many researchers, studies and academic bodies have demonstrated how physical activity can influence cognition.
      https://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/releases/xlm-a0036577.pdf
      Some ideas for using movement as a way to boost creativity:
      * Hoola Hooping
      * Dancing (Zumba, reggaeton, walts, electronic, classic jazz, etc)
      * Doodling or abstract painting
      * Taichi
      * Hiking
      * Drumming
      https://www.spiritualityhealth.com/articles/2015/10/19/link-between-creativity-and-movement On the other hand yoga is more than just moment and when I start to touch on this my brain just went on a ramble 🙃
      Thank you for listening 🤣💛
