The Easiest Cure Ever for PMS, Stress, Insomnia and More (P.S. It's FREE)
Smart breathing techniques that can change your life
• Sit up in a comfortable position. Take your right hand, palm facing toward you, fingers extended, and bend your pointer and middle finger so they curl into your palm.
• Rest your ring finger near your left nostril and your thumb near your right. Take a big breath in and a big breath out. Then, close off the right nostril with your thumb and inhale through the left nostril fully for a count of four. At the top of that breath, close off the left nostril with your ring finger, hold and retain the breath for a count of four, and then release the right nostril and exhale for a count of four.
• Inhale deeply for a count of four through the right nostril, close it off, hold and retain the breath for a count of four, and then release the left nostril as you exhale completely through it for a count of four. Inhale deeply through the left, and repeating the cycle.
Repeat until you feel more relaxed -- this style of breathing balancing both sides of your brain to calm your nervous system.
