It's title I have not heard of before. I was taught something very similar which was called belly breathing and as the name suggests it's usefulness is being able to breath deeply into your stomach.</P> <P>I think we need to be reminded of these techniques from time to time. I know I forget when the need for deep breathing has passed and of course do not use it when it would be helpful.</P> <P>Mary</P> Wed, 24 Jul 2019 23:58:57 GMT White_Rose 2019-07-24T23:58:57Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/anxiety/breathing-square-breathing/m-p/483116#M39563 My shrink told me about Square Breathing (I’d never heard of it) &amp; it has helped me immensely. It trains you to learn to how relax with deeper breathing. Generally do the exercises for 5 minutes 4 times a day. Even when you do get better, keep doing it.<BR /> <BR /> <BR /> YouTube has many videos explaining this method - choose one that you like.<BR /> <BR /> <BR /> I hope it helps you too..
