TECHNIQUE AND INSTRUCTIONS
This meditation works wonders when you are stressed. Start by exhaling deeply. Always start by exhaling. Focus on exhaling, deeply, powerfully. When you have exhaled totally, pull in your stomach and wait for three seconds before inhaling again. Then inhale as deeply as you can. Hold your breath for three seconds. Then start to exhale. Then inhale, exhale again. Create a rhythm in your breathing. Go slow, let the breath enter and leave your body totally. When you exhale deeply, you also throw out the toxins from your body. You throw out the stress. After 10-12 cycles of breathing, you will find that the stress is gone, the tension is released!!
Breathe deep
TECHNIQUE AND INSTRUCTIONS
Mouth breathing is an instant way to de-stress. Sit comfortably in a chair with the head resting over the back of the chair. Let the face be turned upward as much as possible without discomfort. Close your eyes and slowly relax your facial muscles. Release the lower jaw, relax it so that the mouth opens a little. Now start breathing through your mouth in a natural manner. Inhale and exhale both through the mouth. The first few times you do this, you may find the breathing becoming faster. Don't worry. After some time, it will slow down on its own. The breath will go in and out very slowly. In fact, it will become so shallow that you can hardly feel your own breathing. Continue till you feel totally relaxed and refreshed.
