For those who are curious, it's called "Box Breathing" because, if it's helpful for you, you can picture a box and then trace the edges of the box in your mind as you're counting for each of the 4 steps (inhale, hold, exhale, hold). That visual can help take your mind off whatever is making you do this in the first place.
- TedDoesntTalk 6y agoThanks for sharing that since I did not know the reason for the name. But a box is a cube. Since there are four steps, shouldn’t it be called square breathing?
- Crespyl 6y ago"Box" is used often enough in natural english to refer to a square, particularly in the context of diagrams. "Draw a box around it", etc.

- pelario 6y agoA 3d box is a cube, a 2d box is a square.
- pawelmi 6y agoDoes tesseract count as box too? ;)
- segfaultbuserr 6y agoIn parallel computing, similar topologies are known as the Hypercube architecture. And in English, "boxes" can refer to computers or networking devices in general, so yes? ;-)
