The Art of Breathing Part 5

Learning to use breathing as a relaxation tool is easy. The next time you are feeling stressed about something or you have some unwanted tension, or you're feeling impatient because you are in a long line, try the following:

Stand, sit or lying in a comfortable position, with your back straight, draw in a deep breath and count to 5 slowly. As you begin to exhale, let your muscles begin to relax. Repeat this 2-3 times until you are feeling completely relaxed. While you're doing this, imagine your favorite most relaxing relaxing place in the world. Natural scenes not only include the scene but the sounds that go with that scene, as well as smells.
