Once you are physically relaxed and ready to begin, start with breathing naturally in a relaxing way. Notice how you breath. Do you naturally breath fast or shallow or do you naturally breath deeply?

The shallower, less deeper breather is naturally not receiving as much oxygen into their body as a naturally deeper breathing person. Not receiving enough oxygen can slow down the bodies levels of circulation and will effect the body in physical ways as well as emotional ways.
Breathing Steps
Once you have noticed your natural breathing pattern, shut your eyes and relax whilst you begin to breath deeper. As you breath in your abdominal muscles should expand, raising your stomach area upwards as your lungs fill with air. If you find this difficult do to illness or smoking for a period of time in your life, don't worry as you continue to perform your deep breathing exercise, your breathing technique will become stronger. Continue to breath in until you are unable to inhale further and hold for 2 seconds, then slowly release all that you have breathed in. Repeat this process for at least 10 minutes.
