How did the breathing go?

Wow! I'm getting a lot of positive feedback from my tip on deep breathing on Monday. I asked you to try this breathing pattern 10 times in a row, a day.

Today's Thursday how are you feeling? Most specifically how do you feel after having done the breathing pattern? Pretty darn good right.

Make sure that when you inhale you do so slowly and gradually, stretching the breath as long as possible, in this case 5 seconds. If you can't do this, do 3 seconds or 2.

If you can't inhale long and deep for 5 seconds you seriously need to start practicing more.
Also, when inhaling, expand your belly fully, this way you enjoy the full benefits of deep abdominal breathing just like a little baby would.

When holding your breath for 20 seconds visualize a domino effect, kinda like that scene in the movie V for Vendetta, seeing how one domino creates a wave of movement affecting one then the other.

You see and feel the oxygen start from the abdomen move up your chest to the top of your head and out through your arms. While other dominoes run down your legs all the way to the soles of your feet.

Last, when exhaling push out the air slowly through pursed lips and squeeze your abdomen to push all the residual air out. Think of the air as water being squeezed out of a sponge. Stretch the exhale for 10 seconds.

With training you can bring those numbers up to 20-60-20 and beyond.

When you understand how to breathe you can easily merge that ability to increase your stretching ability.

P.S Let me know how you're doing and feeling with the breathing exercise. You might be dizzy at first since your body is not accustomed to receiving such large doses of oxygen. Don't worry your body will come to crave it.
