Create calmness in your body with box breathing
Conscious breathing is one of the most accessible tools we have for calming the nervous system. When the pace slows down and breathing becomes deeper, the body signals that it is safe to let go. It is precisely this state of calm and presence that inspires us at Vejrø.
Box breathing is a simple breathing technique for creating mental clarity. The method is used by everyone from athletes to mindfulness practitioners, and you can easily get started yourself.
How to perform box breathing
Breathe in for 4 seconds → Hold for 4 seconds → Breathe out for 4 seconds → Hold again for 4 seconds.
Repeat 4–8 times. The even structure calms the nervous system and helps the body return to a state of balance.
At Vejrø, we are deeply concerned with this interaction between nature, the nervous system, and well-being. Try box breathing on a walk in the countryside or at home in your everyday life. It is a small but effective practice.
