Breathing


Belly breathing is easy to do and very relaxing. Try this basic exercise anytime you need to relax or relieve stress.

-Sit or lie flat in a comfortable position.
-Put one hand on your belly just below your ribs and the other hand on your chest.
-Take a deep breath in through your nose, and let your belly push your hand out. Your chest should not move.
-Breathe out through pursed lips as if you were whistling. Feel the hand on your belly go in, and use it to push all the air out.
-Do this breathing 3 to 10 times. Take your time with each breath.
-Notice how you feel at the end of the exercise.
