1.
Start natural breathing: The natural breathing technique is
discussed in Chapter 4 – Preparation.
2.
Think about a relaxing place: Choose a place that you have
visited before and you have pleasant memories of. This may be a
holiday destination, a resort, or simply a place you feel most
comfortable in; in nature, near the mountain or by the sea. Find
the place in your mind that makes you the most happy.
3.
Visualize the place: Take some time and concentrate on the place
you are imagining. Improve the clarity of the picture you are
thinking about. Add life and realness to it. Include birds,
wildlife, landscape and anything that will make the picture as real
as possible. Imagine yourself there.
4.
Experience the sensations:
Include as many of the senses such
as hearing, touch, smell and sight. Imagine the splash of the waves
on a beach, the warmth of the sun, the feel of the sand, the smell
of the ocean breeze.
5.
Continue the thought: While continuing your natural breathing
techniques enjoy the moment and imagine in all sharpness you
being at this place.
6.
Return to reality: After a few minutes or after you feel
noticeable relaxed, slowly let your thoughts come back to reality.
This technique can be practices for up to 20 minutes a day, anytime
during the day.
Another highly effective technique is a variation of the Natural
breathing technique. It can be used for any stressful situation. It is
excellent for lowering your tension level and heart beat.
General Breathing Technique
1.
Stand or sit comfortably: This exercise can be done in either
the standing or sitting position.
2.
Concentrate on breathing: It is best to be able to close your
eyes and be in a quiet surrounding. Since this technique can be
used anywhere, this may not always be the case. In these
situations just concentrate on breathing.
3.
Focus on only your breathing: Try and shut out any thoughts and
focus only on your breathing. Make sure that you are taking full
deep breaths.
