Try to do this practice at least three times a week

Close your eyes and lie down breath in slowly through your nose, mouth closed, for 3 to 5 full minutes. Take your time, slow down the pace. Once you have achieved a sense of calm, start breathing normally, inhale and exhale. Try to let go of your thoughts, imagine only the sounds of the space around you. You might notice your own heartbeat or other noises. Allow these sensations – sounds, tastes, images – all to become part of your experience.

When you are finished, lie still for at least 15 to 20 minutes. This may feel too simple and easy, and I’m sure that you might be tempted to rush through your breathwork. To stay conscious, focus on the sensations that you are feeling and the thoughts that arise in your mind. Once you reach a point of calm again, start re-breathing. Practice this regularly meditation whenever you feel stressed, before you go to bed, or even for several minutes each day.
