Thank you for sharing this article David - I love how you break down the science behind this method. When I was first introduced to box breathing years ago I didn't like it because I felt "panicky" while in the brief breath hold phase (I used to be in fight or flight all the time). Now I love it and often share it with my Qigong students to conclude our physical practice as our meditation.
Thanks for your comment Kim. There are many ways that getting outside of your comfort zone leads to feeling overwhelmed, but that can be a sign of learning as well. I’m happy you’ve learned to love this method, it’s a favorite for me too.
