Technique:

Rhythmic breathing is done in the same way as deep breathing, but it is timed to the rhythm of your heartbeat.

• Sit in lotus pose, if you can't then just sit on the chair. Remember to open your belt, unhook your bra, loosen your girdle or tie if you happen to be wearing any of these items. Keep the spine straight, with hands on knees, and start by taking a few deep breaths, and then stop.
  

• Now put the second, third and fourth fingers of your right hand on the left wrist to find the pulse. Carefully listen to the pulse beat, and after a short while start counting 1-2-3-4 several times, to the rhythm of the beats.
  

• Continue mentally counting 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4 until you fall into this rhythm and can follow it without holding your pulse. Then put your hands on your knees and take a deep breath while counting 1-2-3-4; hold the breath while counting 1-2; exhale while again counting 1-2-3-4.
  

• Either you sit on a chair or crossed leg on a floor, let the hands rest on your laps.

• Inhale slowly and deeply for eight seconds. Push your stomach forwards, to a count of four seconds, and then push your ribs sideways for a count of two seconds, and then finally lift your chest and collar bone upwards for a count of two seconds which makes a total of eight seconds.
  

• Hold breathe for 4 seconds and exhale.
  

• Exhale slowly for eight seconds. For the first six seconds just allow the collar bone, chest and ribs to relax, so the breath goes out automatically. For the last two seconds, push the stomach in gently, to expel all the air from the lungs.
  

• Before you take tyhe next breathe, keep the stomach in this position for four seconds.
