Square breathing to restore optimal muscle tension
The Square Breathing technique is a very simple breathing technique that is used to quickly enter a calm state. It allows you to move from any positive or negative to a neutral state. It helps to calm down at important meetings, before public speaking. Takes away the jitter and excitement.
Due to its simplicity, it does not require any special skills. And it's quite remarkable that if you do it in public, no one will even suspect that you are doing some kind of technique.
It is noteworthy that Max Fry wrote about the same breath in his wonderful books about Echo. In general, there are such wonderful books, good old fantasy, where you can find grains and grains of very useful and quite magical knowledge and practices. Since I was a child, I loved finding these seeds and separating them from the chaff. But it is, a lyrical retreat.
So, Max Fry has a wonderful character in all respects - Sir Shurf Lonley-Lockley - a genius of self-control, "The Master Who Stops Unnecessary Lives", "Truth in the Last Instance" (these positions are such).
Careful readers will remember that Fry throughout the Echo Labyrinths series hinted at some breathing exercises that made Sir Shurf what he became, and the protagonist - Sir Max - used them as a last resort when he became very ill.
In the book Crow on the Bridge, it turned out that it was a square breath. Of course, it was not invented by Max Fry, and not even by NLPers (unless John Grinder noticed that it somehow unfathomably aligns the activity of the left and right hemispheres of the brain). Most likely, this breath belongs to ancient practices, yoga has very similar exercises.
Now, actually, the exercise. It's called square breathing, and it's very simple.
Step by step:
1. Take a comfortable position standing or sitting (you can close your eyes).
2. Take a breath, while counting to yourself: “one, two, three, four” or “one thousand, one thousand, two, one thousand three” (as you like to think).
3. Hold the air within you, while counting to yourself: “one, two, three, four” or “a thousand one, a thousand two, a thousand three.”
4. Exhale while counting to yourself, “one, two, three, four,” or “one thousand, one thousand, two, one thousand.”
5. Hold your breath while thinking to yourself, “one, two, three, four,” or “one thousand, one thousand, two, one thousand.”
Inhalation, exhalation and pause are approximately equal to each other in duration, normal, comfortable for most rhythm - about 4-6 seconds.
You can breathe according to the above scheme from several times to several minutes. (up to 10 minutes in the morning and evening, for example) Inhalation, exhalation and pause are equal to each other in duration, normal, comfortable for most rhythm - about 4-6 seconds.
This breathing allows you to restore optimal muscle tension. It is used to train free divers, people who dive without scuba. Relaxation helps them consume less oxygen and stay underwater longer.
