The Falling Out Breath

Illustration via This is Indexed.

You can make space for relaxation any time. Simply take a falling out breath.

Step one: inhale deeply, filling your lungs with fresh, clean air. Notice the pause at the top of the breath.

Step two: let everything out with a little bit of sound, sometimes a "hmmm" or an "aaaaah." Notice the pause at the bottom of the breath.

Envision a clean, blank slate. You're ready to start again, refreshed, in this new space.
