Frequently Asked Questions
常见问题
How does breathing improve focus? 呼吸如何改善专注力？
Rhythmic breathing engages the prefrontal cortex (the brain's attention centre) while reducing default-mode network activity (mind-wandering). The counting structure of box breathing acts as an attentional anchor, crowding out distraction.
节律性呼吸激活前额叶皮层（大脑注意力中心），同时减少默认模式网络活动（思维游离）。箱式呼吸的计数结构充当注意力锚点，排除干扰。
