Show HN: A visual guide to Box Breathing

56 pointsby bitterblotterover 2 years ago
A recent post on HN got me thinking about how to visualize box breathing, and this is the result. I hope you&#x27;ll find it useful<p>It can easily be installed as an app (PWA) on mobile or desktop for offline&#x2F;easy access. Instructions are at the bottom of the page.<p>Reference post: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=33586383" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=33586383</a><p>Source code: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;lassebomh&#x2F;box-breathing" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;lassebomh&#x2F;box-breathing</a><p>Happy breathing HN

This is just so well designed. No confusion, no fluff, just clean, easy, and useful. GJ props

Box breathing seems interesting but I find that it makes me anxious and my heart rate climbs as I do it. Isn’t it supposed to do the opposite of this?

Nice. A while ago I made a similar graphic as an iPhone widget.<p>I found it useful to have the reminder when I picked up my phone.<p>Open source code is here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;crenwick&#x2F;BoxBreathing" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;crenwick&#x2F;BoxBreathing</a>

Still amazing to me that the neurophysiology dictates that slower breathing lowers heart rate and faster breathing increases heart rate.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;pmc&#x2F;articles&#x2F;PMC5709795&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;pmc&#x2F;articles&#x2F;PMC5709795&#x2F;</a>
