Diaphragmatic Breathing
Put your hand on your abdomen, just below your navel. Take a deep breath, bringing the air in through your nose and out through your mouth. You should feel your stomach rising about an inch as you breathe in, and falling about an inch as you breathe out. It is easiest to do when you are laying flat on your back.
60-second Exercise:
As you inhale, count very slowly up to four; as you exhale, count slowly back down to one. Meaning, as you inhale, you say to yourself slowly, "one, two, three, four," as you exhale, you say to yourself slowly, "four, three, two, one." Do this several times.
