Deep Breathing

You should find a comfortable place to sit or stand.

Put your hands on your abdomen

* Inhale

As you breathe in, feel your stomach rising.

You can exhale by mouth.

As the air in your stomach leaves, you will feel it shrink.

Repete until you are completely relaxed

You can slow down everything by deep breathing. You increase oxygen to your brain and reduce heart rate. You can take your mind off of everything when you focus your attention on breathing, and the movement and workings of your body while deep breathing.

Calm breathing:

As you inhale, make sure to fill your chest up with air.

* Keep this air for 3 seconds in your chest

Exhale through your mouth, slowly emptying your chest of air.

Hold the emptyness for 3 seconds

It is a great way to release tension. You can use it to relax and clear your head or to have some time to yourself. It’s one that I do every day, and it is a great way to relieve stress.

Calm counting:

You should find a comfortable place to sit or stand.

Take a deep inhale and exhale very slowly

Close your eyes if you want to.

* Count down from 10 to 10 while exhaling on every regular breath.

As you take 10 deep breaths, notice and feel any tension that may be present in your body. Imagine it melting away.

You can now open your eyes when you reach the end of counting and have reached one.

The mind and the body are stimulated when you add your imagination to these exercises. Imagine all the tension leaving your body. It is very relaxing.

Four-eight Breathing

You can also use your finger to touch the roof of your lips.

This breath should be exhaled for 8 seconds.

* Repetition of these steps is required 3-4 times, without any pauses between them.
