*Spotify Playlist* BREATHE by Resonant Heart MKE

Considerations for this Project:

-the faster the song, the more activating the breath.

Consider how you're aiming to feel...

Grounded and Relaxed?

Focused and Clear-Headed?

What song supports where you're trying to be?

Would it help to start at one tempo and then shift to something slower?

Why Box Breathing with Music?

Box breathing can easily and quickly shift you from a state of stress and anxiety into a state of regulation, focus, and clarity.

Bringing you inherently into the current moment and out of your head.

Choosing preferred music to support your mood

and where you want to be provides a perfect container:

-provide a structured time frame

-activate the limbic system to shift and support emotional regulation

-use dynamic and tempo support to coordinate the flow of breath

Any Contraindications?

-fast breathing has the potential to mimic panic.

Mid range/slower tempos will better support your nervous system.

Consult with your doctor if you:

-are pregnant

-have respiratory or chronic heart conditions

-are dizzy/lightheaded

REMEMBER:

Box breathing is meant to be an easy and highly accessible resource to use in any situation & is naturally supported by music.

I am not a breathwork practitioner.

If you are looking for more information

on how certain breathing techniques can support your wellness,

please consult a trained and certified Breathwork Practitioner.

(my personal recommendation is Julie Banashak. She is truly amazing.

If it isn't working for you, or you feel dizzy or lightheaded...

PLEASE STOP.

Breathe naturally and listen to music that you know feels good to you.

We're all built differently - follow what works for YOU.

You may find that song elements may support the experience as well

- not just the tempo!

Have fun.

Feel good.

That's the whole point.
