Extend Your Exhalation:
- Inhale deeply through your nose, allowing your breath to fill your belly and chest, expanding your back, belly, and chest.
- At the peak of your inhalation, extend your exhalation, releasing the breath slowly.
- Mentally affirm, "I am calm," repeating until a sense of calmness envelops you.
-
Hold Your Breath for 3 Minutes:
- Sit comfortably with an upright posture.
- Inhale deeply, and as you exhale, produce a sustained humming sound, holding a single note for an extended duration.
- Direct your awareness to the sensation between your eyes, where your third eye is located.
- Maintain the humming sound for three minutes, stimulating the vagus nerve and activating the parasympathetic nervous system for instant calming effects.
