7. Jeff Tarrant’s breathing suggestions (Neuromeditationinstitute.com):

1. Breathe from the belly

2. In the beginning, don’t worry about the pace too much, focus on the qualities of the breathing. Allow the breath to become smooth, relaxed, gentle, long and natural.

3. Don’t force it. Tuning in to the concept of natural breathing is the most important step in this process.

4. Time your breathing to determine what pace helps you feel somewhat relaxed and natural. You can do this by simply using a clock with a second hand or a stopwatch.

5. Allow the inbreath and outbreath to be the same amount of time (ex: 4 seconds in, 4 seconds out)

6. Do not try to take in or breathe out more air. A common mistake that people make when beginning to work with the breath involves attempting to increase the length of the breath by either breathing in or breathing out more air.  The lungs can only hold so much.  Attempts to inhale or exhale more air than the lungs can hold will actually create more stress.  This is why there is a strong emphasis on allowing the breathing to feel natural.  The trick is to slow the rate of breathing without changing the overall amount of air used.  Imagine that you are breathing through a straw.  You can only inhale or exhale a small amount of air at a time.  It is as if the airflow was restricted.  You can also imagine that your lungs are like a balloon filled with air and you are holding the opening between your fingers.  You control how much air comes out at any given moment.  Controlling the flow of air is the best way to slow the breathing without creating discomfort or a hyperventilation response.

7. If you ever begin to feel lightheaded or uncomfortable, stop the exercise and assess what you might be doing to influence that reaction. Return to natural, relaxed breathing.

8. If you ever begin to feel lightheaded or uncomfortable, stop the exercise and assess what you might be doing to influence that reaction. Return to natural, relaxed breathing.

9. Use a breath pacer to help you shift your breathing to 6 breaths per minute. If this is uncomfortable, make it a little faster (ex: 7 breaths per minute)
