Four fold breath meditation
Four fold breath AKA box breathing has more applications than just breath work to aid in stress relief and regulating the central nervous system. For those unfamiliar with this technique it is a form of breath work where you breath in for a count of four, hold for a count of four, exhale for a count of four, hold for a count of four and repeat.
One 'application' or visualization I absolutely love is designed and used to attune the practitioner to the energies & cycles of the earth. Damien Echols & Other Magi call this 'The Seasonal Application'.
It is done by visualizing and feeling, smelling tasting (etc) each season on a certian breath. If you can only see the imagery or feel the tempature or whatever you asociate with each season, that is okay too!
For the In breath visualize spring. For the first hold visualize summer. For the exhale visualize fall. And for the final hold visualize winter. Do this on repeat for a set time consistently when you feel out of tune with mother earth's energies and cycles.
Below I have attached some GIFs to help you guys get a feel for what this practice would look like.
I sinscerely hope this aids, blesses and empowers each and everyone of you all! Blessed be.
