Breathing Technique - Sigh Breathing

Sigh Breathing is designed to induce feelings of relaxation, release tension, and recalibrate the respiratory system. By incorporating intentional sighs into the breathing routine, the method helps to break patterns of shallow or erratic breathing, which can be brought on by stress or anxiety. Begin by sitting/standing/lying down in a comfortable position, ensuring that your back is straight and you're in a calm environment. Close your eyes if you feel comfortable doing so. Slowly and deeply inhale through your nose for a count of 4, allowing your chest and diaphragm to expand fully. Then open your mouth and release the breath in a prolonged and audible sigh. As you do this, focus on the sensation of relief and the release of any built-up tension.

This technique, guided by Rosalie Somogyi, is a simple yet powerful tool that can be integrated into daily life, offering moments of calm and rejuvenation amidst our bustling routines. Follow me for all updates. THANK YOU for your donation.
