SELF-GUIDED PRACTICE

How to practice

  1. Sit, stand, or lie down in a safe position before beginning.
  2. Inhale through the nose until the lungs feel mostly full, without straining.
  3. Before exhaling, take a second small sip of air through the nose to gently top up the inhale.
  4. Exhale slowly through the mouth until the lungs feel comfortably empty.
  5. Let the shoulders, jaw, and belly soften during the long exhale.
  6. Repeat one to five rounds, pausing between rounds if you feel lightheaded.
  7. Use this as a short reset, then return to natural breathing rather than forcing a long session.

Stay comfortable. You can stop at any time or return to your natural breath.
