A Simple Way to Begin Meditation: Box Breathing with Jared
Meditation is often described as a path to calm, clarity, and self-discovery — yet for many people, it can feel anything but peaceful. Racing thoughts, busy minds, and constant distractions can make sitting still feel challenging or even frustrating.
In this video, Jared introduces a simple and approachable way to begin meditation, especially for those who feel their minds never slow down. Rather than trying to force thoughts away, he encourages using the breath as an anchor — a gentle tool to quiet the noise and guide awareness inward.
The technique he shares is called box breathing. It’s named for the mental “box” created by four equal parts of breath:
Inhale
Hold
Exhale
Hold
By moving through each side of the box with intention, the breath creates rhythm, focus, and structure. This steady pattern gives the mind something simple to follow, helping it settle naturally into a softer, still place.
Box breathing isn’t about perfection or clearing the mind completely. It’s about creating space — space to notice, to breathe, and to reconnect with yourself. Over time, this practice can support greater mindfulness, reduced stress, and a deeper sense of awareness.
If meditation has ever felt intimidating, this is a beautiful place to start. Press play, follow along with Jared, and allow your breath to guide you inward — one calm moment at a time.
