Experience a Full Breath

Try this next exercise sitting, standing, and lying down. With gentle practice you will find that it becomes a smooth flow. Do it no more than about ten times consecutively unless you find the feeling of lightheadedness pleasurable.

  1. Exhale deeply, contracting the belly.
  2. Inhale slowly, expanding the belly first, then the chest, and finally raising the shoulders, slightly, up toward your ears. Hold this breath for a few comfortable seconds.
  3. Exhale in the reverse pattern, slowly. Release your shoulders, relax your chest, relax your belly.
