How to Do Deep Breathing Correctly
How To Perform It:
Lie down on your back in a comfortable place free from any kind of distraction.
Put your hands on your abdomen (to feel your way through the exercise) and try to relax your muscles.
Inhale deeply through your nose, expanding your abdomen and then filling your lungs with air. Count slowly to 5 as you inhale.
Hold your breath and count to 3.
Exhale slowly through your mouth and empty your lungs completely. Again, count slowly to 5 as you exhale and try to release any tension from your muscles.
Continue to inhale and exhale deeply for 5 to 10 minutes.

(Note):Breathe deeply into your abdomen, not just your chest.
Proper breathing should be deep, slow and rhythmic and done through the nose, not the mouth. so that they expand and so that you can really circulate oxygen down into the whole lung.
Laying down at the beginning is best but you can also do this while sitting.
Perform this exercise once in the morning and again before going to bed.
