How to breathe comfortably when under stress

Breathe into your belly and allow the air to flow evenly throughout the area.

Take a few deep breaths in through your nose and then out through your mouth. Breathe in through your mouth. Exhale out through your mouth. It's important to breathe deeply, to get your diaphragm working. When you're deep, you'll be able to reach the areas that need to be worked on, but you'll also be able to give yourself the rest you need when you are fully engaged in the meditation.

If you find it difficult to breathe deeply, you may want to consider switching to an abdominal breathing technique. Here are the main points to remember: Don't try to count (breathe in and out) to get your diaphragm working; that makes it difficult and forces you to do it, but is only going to make it even harder to do your meditation. Focus on your belly instead of the ribs on either side of your neck. When you're finished, take in some more air through your nose and out through your mouth.

Give yourself a minute or two to rest and drink some water. If you can't manage to do an abdominal breathing technique, try using the jump rope and breath with each hops (or every other jump). You can try the following breathing techniques for several minutes each. When you inhale, imagine you are going deep into your belly. When you exhale, imagine you are coming out of your belly.
