Triangle Breathing

Triangle Breathing is a deep breathing exercise that involves:

• breathing in for three seconds

• holding your breath for three seconds

How Triangle Breathing Affects Your Body

The nervous system is divided into two parts: the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic system controls how the body responds to stress, i.e., fight-or-flight responses, while the parasympathetic system controls how the body responds to stress by relaxing and resting.

Deep breathing exercises, like Triangle Breathing, help put the body in a state of relaxation by suppressing the sympathetic nervous system, activating the parasympathetic nervous system, and ultimately reducing stress and anxiety.

Regular practice of deep breathing techniques has many benefits, from improving focus and concentration to promoting relaxation, reducing anxiety, and improving overall well-being.
