Mental Health
(Cathy Wong,)
The goal is to use this technique to breathe all of thetime. But while you are practicing, you can sit in a chair or even stand - youdon't have to sit cross-legged. Instruction: Try to calm yourmind. Forget about what you?re going to make for dinner tonight, the emails youstill have to respond to, and the birthday gift you still have to get for yourmother-in-law. But don?t force it, just let go of any thought that pops in yourmindProper posture gets the air into your lungs and helps energyflow through your body. Sit up straight, imagining a string lifting up yourchest. You should feel the area between your chest and your navel lengthen. When you try to improve your posture, you may find your muscles tensing up,especially around the abdomen. Consciously try to release any tension from yourbody.Breathe in through your nose evenly. Be sure to push out your stomachrather than your chest. If it helps, rest the palm of one hand against yourabdomen and then breathe in to expand your belly. You will feel your hand beingpushed outward. count silently and slowly to three. This way, you are using your diaphragm andgetting a deeper breath. Breathe out through your mouth. Count silently andslowly to six, remembering to pace yourself so you still have some breath left.Repeat the cycle two more times. If you feel light-headed,slow down a bit (if you are standing, sit down and do it).
