Privacy policy Sit in a comfortable up-right position with your spine straight.
Terms of Use
With your mouth gently closed, breath in and out of your nose as fast as
possible. To give an idea of how this is done, think of someone using a bicycle
pump (a bellows) to quickly pump up a tire. The upstroke is inspiration and the
downstroke is exhalation and both are equal in length.
The rate of breathing is rapid with as many as 2-3 cycles of
inspiration/expiration per second.
While doing the exercise, you should feel effort at the base of the neck, chest
and abdomen. The muscles in these areas will increase in strength the more
this technique is practiced. This is truly an exercise.
Do this for no longer than 15 seconds when first starting. With practice, slowly
increase the length of the exercise by 5 seconds each time. Do it as long as you
are comfortably able, not exceeding one full minute.
There is a risk for hyperventilation that can result in loss of consciousness if this
exercise is done too much in the beginning. For this reason, it should be
practiced in a safe place such as a bed or chair.
This exercise can be used each morning upon awakening or when needed for an
energy boost.
The Art and Science of Breathing
Three Breathing Exercises
"Practicing regular, mindful breathing can be calming and energizing
and can even help with stress-related health problems ranging from
panic attacks to digestive disorders."
Andrew Weil, M.D.

Since breathing is something we can control and regulate, it is a useful tool for
achieving a relaxed and clear state of mind. I recommend three breathing
exercises to help relax and reduce stress: The Stimulating Breath, The 4-7-8
Breathing Exercise (also called the Relaxing Breath), and Breath Counting. Try
each and see how they affect your stress and anxiety levels.
Exercise 1:
The Stimulating Breath (also called the Bellows Breath)
The Stimulating Breath is adapted from a yogic breathing technique. Its aim is
to raise vital energy and increase alertness.
Inhale and exhale rapidly through your nose, keeping your mouth closed but
relaxed. Your breaths in and out should be equal in duration, but as short as
possible. This is a noisy breathing exercise.
Try for three in-and-out breath cycles per second. This produces a quick
movement of the diaphragm, suggesting a bellows. Breathe normally after each
cycle.
Do not do for more than 15 seconds on your first try. Each time you practice the
Stimulating Breath, you can increase your time by five seconds or so, until you
reach a full minute.
If done properly, you may feel invigorated, comparable to the heightened
awareness you feel after a good workout. You should feel the effort at the back
of the neck, the diaphragm, the chest and the abdomen. Try this breathing
exercise the next time you need an energy boost and feel yourself reaching for
a cup of coffee.
Exercise 2:
The 4-7-8 (or Relaxing Breath) Exercise
This exercise is utterly simple, takes almost no time, requires no equipment and
can be done anywhere. Although you can do the exercise in any position, sit
with your back straight while learning the exercise. Place the tip of your tongue
against the ridge of tissue just behind your upper front teeth, and keep it there
through the entire exercise. You will be exhaling through your mouth around
your tongue; try pursing your lips slightly if this seems awkward.
Exhale completely through your mouth, making a whoosh sound.
Close your mouth and inhale quietly through your nose to a mental count of
four.

Hold your breath for a count of seven.
Exhale completely through your mouth, making a whoosh sound to a count of
eight.
This is one breath. Now inhale again and repeat the cycle three more times for
a total of four breaths.
Note that you always inhale quietly through your nose and exhale audibly
through your mouth. The tip of your tongue stays in position the whole time.
Exhalation takes twice as long as inhalation. The absolute time you spend on
each phase is not important; the ratio of 4:7:8 is important. If you have trouble
holding your breath, speed the exercise up but keep to the ratio of 4:7:8 for the
three phases. With practice you can slow it all down and get used to inhaling
and exhaling more and more deeply.
This exercise is a natural tranquilizer for the nervous system. Unlike
tranquilizing drugs, which are often effective when you first take them but then
lose their power over time, this exercise is subtle when you first try it but gains
in power with repetition and practice. Do it at least twice a day. You cannot do it
too frequently. Do not do more than four breaths at one time for the first month
of practice. Later, if you wish, you can extend it to eight breaths. If you feel a
little lightheaded when you first breathe this way, do not be concerned; it will
pass.
Once you develop this technique by practicing it every day, it will be a very
useful tool that you will always have with you. Use it whenever anything
upsetting happens - before you react. Use it whenever you are aware of internal
tension. Use it to help you fall asleep. This exercise cannot be recommended too
highly. Everyone can benefit from it.
Exercise 3:
Breath Counting
If you want to get a feel for this challenging work, try your hand at breath
counting, a deceptively simple technique much used in Zen practice.
Sit in a comfortable position with the spine straight and head inclined slightly
forward. Gently close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Then let the
breath come naturally without trying to influence it. Ideally it will be quiet and
slow, but depth and rhythm may vary.
To begin the exercise, count "one" to yourself as you exhale.
Create PDF in your applications with the Pdfcrowd HTML to PDF API PDFCROWD
The next time you exhale, count "two," and so on up to "five."
Then begin a new cycle, counting "one" on the next exhalation.
Never count higher than "five," and count only when you exhale. You will know
your attention has wandered when you find yourself up to "eight," "12," even
"19."
Try to do 10 minutes of this form of meditation.
