  • Diaphragmatic (Belly) Breathing: How to Do It

    Lie on your back with your knees bent, one hand on your chest and one on your belly. Breathe in slowly through your nose so the belly hand rises while the chest hand stays almost still, then breathe out slowly and let the belly fall. Start with 5 to 10 minutes, once or a few times a day.
