It&#39;s just natural and you can feel the air coming through your body thorough your nose.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Nicole E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">When practicing relaxation techniques, I try to focus on how I am feeling during and after the exercise. For  my breathing technique during the week,  I breath in through the nose and exhale slowly from the mouth. Concentrating on the slow exhale works for me. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Angela O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">When you inhale to you belly first, followed by the chest and then expand the areas between the shoulder blades and then we exhale through the nose we have become three part breathers<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Garance P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I learned it during an intensive study if Ashtanga yoga, but ethos aside I know it&#39;s right because it makes me feel divine and lowers my heart rate to 50bpm<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Hanna J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It&#39;s not.  But I&#39;m working on it.  I breathe mindfully more and more times through the day.  As I wait, when I&#39;m in a different spot or an awkward position&#x2F;moment.  Less mouth, more nasal.  Counting, placing hands different spots thoracically to check expansion and exhalation.  Trying to gauge what&#39;s up&#x2F;new&#x2F;different&#x2F; going well with my exercises &amp; experiments.  Watching YouTube for new&#x2F;better information, trying to build in little minutes of improvement and practice.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Maurice E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">There are many different breathing techniques, I start off trying different techniques under guidance using apps like Yogaglo, MindValley, YouTube until I find one that I like. I follow instructions and usually if the instructor is good I feel confident I\u2019m correct. Once I feel confident I can practice on my own, but like to revisit guided breathing to make sure I haven\u2019t slacked off and use a refresher!!!  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Clemens O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I don\u2019t think it has to be \u201ccorrect.\u201d I focus on being mindful, not breathing exactly a certain way. Doing practices that are too procedural or prescriptive about the breath makes me anxious, so I avoid those. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Franklin U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I use a meditation app. It helps to remind me to sit comfortably and focus on my breathing. I breathe in and out of my nose and become aware of the rise and fall of my diaphragm.<br \/>\nI body scan and where there are knots of tension I comb them out in my minds eye. More importantly for me is ensuring I don\u2019t get swamped my extraneous thoughts and I clear my mind.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lesa O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I have an Apple Watch so I have an app for breathing, but if you just sit and relax then your breathing will be natural, and that is correct. It\u2019s important to relax your body and muscles and just breath naturally. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Judith U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I use a technique that I was taught in a yoga class. Breathe in thru your nose for 7 counts and out through you mouth for 8.   When filling your lungs, think about filling your abdomen too. Expel all the way through your abdomen as well. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Mathew W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Breathing is an unconscious task and we are well programmed to do it. However, for a good deep breathing (especially before meditation) I help me using a metronome. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Constance Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I use the breathing square technique when I want to ground myself. Breathe in to the count of four, hold for the count of four, breathe out to the count of four and pause for the count of four. Repeat as needed.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Na L E. One of the easiest ways to know is to monitor your heart rate.
