Beat Stress by Breathing like a Yoga
You don't have to vacation in the Himalayas to learn to breathe like a Buddha. From the Pranayama tradition of yoga comes the "Complete Breath," which is a relaxing way to beat stress and improve your state of mind. Steps - Lie flat while you are down on your back on the floor, a comfortable mat, or a firm mattress.
- Place your hands on your abdomen an inch or two apart just below the navel, with your fingertips facing inward and your palms down.
- Inhale through the nose and begin expanding the abdomen.
- Continue inhaling. When the abdomen rises slightly, begin allowing the chest to expand and the abdomen to fall.
- When the chest rises slightly, begin exhaling. Allow the abdomen to continue to fall.
- Continue exhaling. As the chest empties, allow the abdomen to begin to rise again.
- Repeat without pausing.
Tips - It can be tricky to get the hang of this at first, but it helps to imagine the breathing cycle as a circle. During each cycle, the chest and abdomen rise and fall in a smooth, uninterrupted manner.
- Each inhalation/exhalation cycle should require several seconds to complete. Use a pace that is comfortable for you, but the deeper and slower you are able to breathe, the better.
Warnings - If you begin to feel light-headed or experience other unusual phenomena, discontinue the exercise.
