Your body and mind can be effected by your breathing pattern and rate according to research. Here is a basic breathing exercise: (1) Get comfortable. Lie or sit down. Close your eyes. (2) Gently breathe in and out through your nose. Do this with equal inhalation and exhalation. Do this without overfilling the lungs or trying to push out all the air. (3) Count as you breathe( in-two, three,four; out-two, three, four). You can also use a breath-pacer app. (4) Slow it a bit more once that pace is comfortable. Between four and a half and six breaths per minute is the ideal rate.
