This is the 3,

5,

8 breath.

It is a 3 second inhale,

5 second hold,

And 8 second exhale.

When you take in this 3 second breath,

I'm wanting you to breathe into your fullest inhale capacity.

This would require you lifting your posture,

Expanding your shoulders,

And when you hold for the 5 seconds,

You're holding that posture,

You're harnessing the positive energy of that strong,

Deep inhale.

And then whenever you exhale for the 8,

It is a very long,

Slow,

Parasympathetic,

Relaxing 8 second exhale to the very bottom.
