Breathe sideways…..just a little bit more…..

Pranayama (expansive breathing)—soothes nerves to calm the brain.
Pranayama is breathing in, breathing out and pausing according to space (inside the lungs) time (how long) and number (how many times.)
To practice: simply close your eyes and begin breathing by widening your back ribs. (Most of your breathing muscles are in the back of your body.)
Best to keep your breath comfortable and easy.
Breathe on your own flow, to your own timing, for as long as you are comfortable.  Pranayama nicely leads into Meditation.  Enjoy for as long as you are comfortable. If you keep doing this, your comfort level will expand and expand.
