Four seconds in, four seconds hold, four seconds out, four seconds hold — that's box breathing.
Five minutes of 4-4-4-4 box breathing each morning. Builds long-term heart-rate variability and shifts baseline autonomic balance toward the parasympathetic side. Effect is cumulative — daily matters more than long sessions.
The protocol
| Timing | morning preferred |
| Pattern | inhale 4 / hold 4 / exhale 4 / hold 4 |
| Duration | 5 min |
| Frequency | daily |
None — well-tolerated; stop if light-headed.
