“Take a deep breath in through your nose for five to seven seconds, allowing only your belly to rise (feeling only your left hand rising). 5. Hold that breath for two to three seconds. 6. Exhale through your mouth for six to eight seconds, allowing your belly to fall (feeling only your left hand falling). 7. Hold your breath, without any air entering your lungs, for two to three seconds. 8. Repeat steps 4 through 7 as many times as you feel comfortable or for a set period of time.”
