- Get Comfortable
- Get into a position that you can maintain comfortably, either sitting or lying down. Ideally wear loose clothing, and make sure that your belly can expand freely.
- 30 Deep Breaths
- Close your eyes and clear your mind. Inhale deeply through your nose or mouth, while pushing your belly outward. When your lungs are full, let your breath go through the mouth without force.
- Take 30 such breaths, one right after the other.
- The Retention Phase
- After the final exhalation, hold your breath until you feel the urge to breathe again.
- Recovery Breath
- Draw one giant breath, once again letting your belly expand fully. Hold that breath for 15 seconds, then let go. This completes one round.
- Do 3 rounds
