Box breathing timerBox breathing timer

Four ways to sit

  • Bell: The classic timer — choose a bowl and set your minutes
  • Breathwork: Box, 4-7-8, or a pattern you build — a dot traces every breath
  • Mantra: Count repetitions instead of minutes — 108, or any number you choose
  • Visual: Rest your gaze on a yantra while the timer holds the time for you
