HOW TO DO IT
NEVER DO THIS WHILE DRIVING OR STANDING.
Sit or lie down comfortably on a flat surface.
Place one hand on your chest and one hand on your stomach.
Slowly inhale through your nose. Feel your stomach push against your hand as you breathe in.
Exhale through your mouth, allowing your stomach to relax just as you do.
Repeat these steps 3 times and you're ready to start.
WEEK ONE
Start with 5 obnoxiously deep breaths.
At the end of breath 5, exhale comfortably and try to hold your breath for 30 seconds (it's ok if you can't make it 30).
Then inhale as deep as possible.
At the end of the inhale, hold your breath for 30 seconds. (Or as long as you comfortably can if you can't make it 30)
Then exhale.
Start over at #1 with 5 obnoxiously deep breaths.
REPEAT THIS SEQUENCE 3 TIMES.
WEEK TWO
Add 5 breaths to each round, aiming for 3 rounds of 10 deep breaths.
WEEK THREE
Add 5 more breaths to each round, aiming for 3 rounds of 15 deep breaths.
WEEK FOUR +
Add 15 more breaths to each round, aiming for 3 rounds of 30 deep breaths.
Thank you.!
