Breathing Exercise

Using your Breathing helps you to find your Center. It's also good for Stress & Anxiety! With the following Breathing exercise(below) I like to do a count of 3.
But it is up to you & which count helps you better








Simple and Relaxing – Four In, Four Out Slow Belly Breathing
Source: Psychology Tools

Also Called: Relaxed Breathing, 4 Count Breathing, 4-1-4-1 Breathing



“When we are anxious or threatened our breathing speeds up in order to get our body ready for danger. Relaxed breathing (sometimes called abdominal or diaphragmatic breathing) signals the body that it is safe to relax. Relaxed breathing is slower and deeper than normal breathing, and it happens lower in the body (the belly rather than the chest).

Instructions:

• Make sure you are sitting or lying comfortably.
  Close your eyes if you are comfortable doing so.
  Breathe through your nose rather than your mouth if that is comfortable for you.
  Deliberately slow your breathing down.
  Breathe in to a count of 4
  Pause for a moment
  Breathe out to a count of 4
  Pause
  Repeat
  
  
  Make sure that your breaths are smooth, steady, and continuous – not jerky; pay particular attention to your out-breath –
  make sure it is smooth and steady & make sure to follow your out breath All The Way Out!
