Episode 3011: Kate Hesse explains how Square Breath, a balanced breathing technique with equal inhales, exhales, and breath retentions, helps restore calm and focus by shifting the body from a stress response to a state of rest. She shares personal insights on how this practice fosters comfort with life’s transitions, offering both a mental reset and deeper resilience in uncertain times. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://nourishnestbreathe.com/square-breath-with-free-guided-breathwork-audio/ Quotes to ponder: "Square Breath offers the opportunity to focus on bringing balance to your body through equal measures of inhalation and exhalation." "Square breath is able to pull you from the Sympathetic Nervous System (fight, flight, or freeze) into the Parasympathetic Nervous System (rest & digest)." "By exploring that space on the mat, I’ve learned that I’m safe, even if the transitions feel scary." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
