SIMPLE BREATHING EXERCISE
Renegade Pharmacist recommends a very simple breathing exercise that will help you get to deep rested sleep in no time.
Try practicing this powerful breathing technique just before your bedtime. It is important to be somewhere peaceful where you will be uninterrupted. You may find that you will fall asleep much easier and wake up feeling more refreshed and rejuvenated.
- Sit in a comfortable position with your back straight
- Inhale deeply through your nose or mouth
- Purse your lips and gently breathe the air out of your mouth very slowly as though you are breathing out through a straw
- Relax all the muscles in your body as much as possible while you do this
- As you exhale, imagine a wave of relaxation flowing down your body from the top of your head to the soles of your feet and through to the tips of your toes
- Once you have exhaled, hold your breath for a few seconds before inhaling and repeating the process again
- Repeat the process for 5-10 minutes
You could include this breathing technique several times during the evening before bedtime if you like. Practicing this exercise throughout the day and every evening will help you achieve an overall much better sleep quality.
