Feeling Stressed … Just Breathe

Just Breathe

This weekend I had the chance to see Andrew Weil, MD director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine and author of Healthy Aging. He spoke in Philadelphia at the Forever Young Conference. At the end of his talk, Dr. Weil had the audience practice this simple breathing technique called the Relaxing Breath. Ready to try this relaxation technique?

Sit up, with your back straight (eventually you will be able to do this in any position).

Put the tip of

your tongue on the ridge behind your top front teeth; keep it there through the exercise.

To begin, exhale through the mouth, making a whoosh sound.

1. Close your mouth

   & inhale through your nose to the count of 42. Hold your breath for 7.

2. Exhale through your mouth making a whoosh sound, to a count of 8.
3. Repeat steps 1-3 four more times.
4. Do this exercise at least twice daily.

What I like most about

this exercise is how it can be used at ANY time and is simple to reproduce. I tried it last night when I woke up in the middle of the night and after five minutes- I went right back to sleep.
