Breath & Hold:
This technique will increase your energy and as soon as after only a couple of weeks of practice. It’s also one of the best exercises to improve concentration. The essence of this exercise is: Inhale to a count of two, hold your breath for a count of eight, and exhale to a count of four. To aid you in the counting, you may use walking steps, walk for two steps while inhaling air deep into your belly, hold for eight steps and exhale strongly for four more footsteps.
Alternate Nostril Breathing:
This is a thousand year old technique used by yoga teachers around the world. Sit in a quiet area with your back straight (yogi’s cross their legs, I can’t I sit in a straight chair.) Place your right thumb over your right nostril and inhale through your nose to the count of two through your left nostril. Close your eyes when you do this and imagine a giant balloon expanding in your stomach when you inhale. Holds for an eight count, and at the same time cover your left nostril with your right pinky. Next, exhale to the count of four through your right nostril. At all times, your mouth should be closed. Now reverse it. Practice this alternate breathing for five minutes every morning and your will notice the results.
