Here is a way to do that…
Put your left hand on your chest and the right one on your tummy. Breathe in via your nose, letting your tummy inflate. Your right hand will move along with your tummy. While breathing in this manner, you are using your diaphragm and letting air right down into the lungs. Just move your tummy while you breath, keeping the movement of the chest to a minimum. Slowly exhale the air through your nose, taking your tummy as inward as you can.
You must aim at taking eight to ten breaths a minute. “One breath” means the complete cycle of both breathing in and breathing out.
Initially, while doing the breathing exercise, you might cough. However, you will be able to do this exercise perfectly within a week or so.
To relax even more while doing this exercise, close your eyes and think of a pleasant experience, serene surroundings and relaxing thoughts.
Once your feel totally relaxed, think about specific parts of your body starting from your head to your toes while doing the breathing exercise. This will help you relax parts of your body.
1. Begin by closing your eyes and start breathing.
2. Take a deep breath and inflate your tummy. As you exhale, focus on muscles in your forehead. Doing this will ease tension in your forehead.
3. Think of your eyes; ease the tension there as you exhale.
4. Think of your face, exhale and release the tension from your face.
