Three-part breathing exercise
You may carry out the three-part breathing exercise by following these steps:
- Take a big, deep breath in.
- Exhale deeply while paying close attention to how your body feels.
- Repeat this many times, then lengthen your exhale to match the length of your inhale.
One of the most soothing, centering breathing exercises you can do is the three-part breath (Dirga Pranayama). It truly helps you concentrate on the present moment and become aware of the feelings in your body. The simplicity of this method makes some people prefer it to others.
