Step 1: Close your eyes or relax your gaze on an object in the distance.
Step 2. Place one hand on your abdomen and the other on your chest. Feel your body rising and falling as you breathe.
Step 3. Notice your breath. Notice the air flowing through your nostrils. Is it warm or cold? Do you feel more air coming in the right or left nostril?
Step 4. Imbalanced breathing. After you've tuned into your breath, begin to breathe in to thecount of 4. Hold it for 1 second. Then breathe out to the count of 5.
