Interestingly enough breathing is your only automatic bodily fuction that you can choose to change and regulate.  This makes it a free resource at your disposal if you learn how.
 
Structured breath work is the easiest way to communicate with your central nervous system.
 
Structured breathwork is the most effective way to relieve stress and anxiety.  Box breathing came in second to cyclical signing (and before meditation) for stress relief.
 
I recommend starting a meditation session with some structured breathing (ie 4:4) to calm and center yourself before beginning your journey.  If your mind wonders during your meditation, bring your attention back to your breath!
