STEP 1 Breathe in slowly through your nose, letting
your belly rise as your diaphragm expands, then exhale slowly and
forcefully, letting your belly fall. Place your hand on your
belly so you can feel the diaphragm rise and fall. This
diaphragmatic breathing brings immediate calm and stress relief,
and when paired with Dr. Weil's 4-7-8 pattern it becomes a
simple, powerful exercise that takes less than two minutes.
