Deep breathing techniques
are a variety of exercises that involve breathing deeply, slowly, and rhythmically to promote relaxation and reduce stress. Here are descriptions of some common deep breathing techniques:
Diaphragmatic breathing:
Also known as belly breathing, this technique involves inhaling deeply through the nose, allowing the belly to expand as the diaphragm moves downward, then exhaling slowly through pursed lips, feeling the belly deflate.
Alternate nostril breathing:
This technique involves placing the right thumb over the right nostril, inhaling deeply through the left nostril, then using the ring finger to close the left nostril while exhaling through the right. Repeat the process, inhaling through the right nostril, closing it with the thumb, and exhaling through the left.
