The Breathing Technique That Saved My Life
Find a comfortable position: Sit or lie down in a relaxed position.
Place one hand on your chest and the other on your stomach.
Inhale slowly and deeply through your nose. Your stomach should rise, while your chest should remain relatively still.
Exhale slowly through your mouth. Your stomach should fall.
Repeat for several minutes.
Diaphragmatic breathing helps to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for relaxation and stress reduction. By focusing on deep, slow breaths, you can help your body and mind unwind.
