How to Breathe Deep

  1. Find a quiet, comfortable place to sit or lie down.
  2. Take a normal breath. Then, try a deep breath by breathing in slowly through your nose and allowing your chest and lower belly to rise as you fill your lungs. Let your abdomen fully expand before breathing out slowly through your nose.
  3. Control your breath from start to finish and keep count of it as it helps to maintain focus. AVOID HOLDING YOUR BREATH AT ALL TIMES.
  4. Keep practicing. Breathe deeply for at least 20 minutes every day at any time that is convenient for you.
  5. Track your progress. Keep notes of the number of breaths you are taking per minute as well as write about your physical and mental changes after your deep breathing practice.
