a) Gently become aware of your breath.

b) Gently breathe into your tummy by pushing it out like a balloon and breathing in through your nose. Count one.

c) Breathe out by 'deflating' your tummy and exhaling out of your mouth. Relax the jaw and let go, do this for a count of two.

d) Continue going with this continuously for 2 minutes initially and slowly build up to 20 minutes. You can also build up the time of 'breathing to a count of 6 when breathing in and a count of 12 when breathing out.

e) Sometimes you can feel a little tired or even dizzy after breathing so deeply, so take your time and breathe 'normally', before attempting to move around again.
