Inhale as normal. Hold a few seconds. Exhale as long and slow as you can.
This lowers your level of physiological arousal.
The exhale needs to be longer than the inhale. As long as possible is best. After a few minutes of that, you’ll start to feel pure relief spreading through your body as you exhale.
trust me just try it. Normal, even quick, inhale. Hold it a few seconds, exhale as long and slow as you can. Then repeat for as long as you want. You can even do it while doing other stuff. It’s just a breathing pattern.
