BELLY BREATHING Focus your attention on the center of your belly, behind your navel. Breathe in and out, deeply and slowly, a few times. Pull the air all the way down into your belly. Keep breathing, deeply and slowly. Follow your breath as it flows in through your nose, down your throat, into and through your lungs, and into your belly. Keep following it as it flows back out again. (You won’t actually pull air into your belly, of course, but it will feel that way.) Continue breathing this way for four to five minutes. Stop and notice what you experience in your body.
