Guided Practices for The Healing Circle
Before You Walk Back In the Door
by Dr. Ernesha West
You've been on all day. Before you walk back through that door and shift into another role, take four minutes. This box breathing practice tells your nervous system: we're safe, we can slow down. Use it in your car, your driveway, wherever you are right now.
Something just spiked your chest is tight, your thoughts are fast, your body is ahead of you. This practice uses an extended exhale to activate your body's natural calm response. No need to understand it for it to work. Just breathe with me.
