Steps for deep slow breathing exercises for reducing stress:
Step 1: Position for Breathing Exercises.
Position your body upright in a chair or semi reclined with your trunk well supported. Deep breathing exercises are most effective when you’re upright compared with lying down because upright positions give your lungs space to expand..
Step 2: Nose Breathing Technique.
Breathe in through your nose when possible during these exercises. Nose breathing promotes relaxation in the brain centers..
Step 3: Breathing Speed.
Slow your breathing speed. Fast breathing is shallow and is linked to anxiety and stress. The research (1) suggests breathing at 9-10 breaths per minute is most effective rate of breathing for relieving stress and improving relaxation..
a. Slowly Inhale Diaphragmatic Breathing Technique.
Place your hands around the lower parts of your rib cage and upper belly with the tips of your 3rd fingers touching. Breathe in slowly so your rib cage expands outwards and your finger tips move apart. Breathe in slowly and deeply to get air to base of your lungs where air exchange takes place..
b. Exhaling.
To breathe out allow the air to passively leave your lungs. Breathing out involves the passive recoil of the ribs and lungs. Feel your body relax as you exhale..

Breathing exercises can be a great way to help relieve stress and anxiety. This video focuses on two relaxing breathing techniques: Square breathing (aka box breathing, 4x4 breathing, 4-part breath, etc.) and Pursed breathing. More breathing exercises: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7-CAFhJn78.
\r\rI start off with Square breathing. It’s so good at helping to relieve stress and anxiety that it’s sometimes used in the military to help calm nerves before stressful situations..
It’s performed just how it sounds-using your breath to make a square. Use imagery as well and imagine making a square or following something with a square pattern with your breath. Each position is 4 seconds. Breathe in for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 4 seconds, breathe out for 4 seconds, and hold your breath again for 4 seconds..
\r\rPursed breathing is another breathing technique that can help relieve stress and anxiety, and it can also help make your lungs stronger. For this one, use diaphragmatic or belly breathing. Breathe in for 4 seconds, and then breathe out with pursed lips for 8 seconds..

Breathwalking is based on a Kundalini yoga technique, and involves making strong, purposeful strides in rhythm with breathing. Dr. Weil’s colleague, Dr. Jim Nicolai, demonstrates various examples of breathwalking including the “stair” and “wave” patterns. Give them a try!

Video Transcript: Breathwalking with Dr. Jim Nicolai.
Hi! I’m Dr. Andrew Weil. Here’s some valuable health information from my friend, former student, and colleague, Dr. Jim Nicolai. Hi! I’m Dr. Jim Nicolai and we’re here at Miraval Resort and Spa. I’m going to teach you a method of breathing that’s a meditation, where you use a form of specific breathing techniques while you’re walking to create a level of active calm. My main goal in trying to teach people quick and dirty health techniques is to teach them how to breathe fuller, deeper and more even. The breath is the lynch key between changing your state and oftentimes, when we’re breathing shallowly, we find ourselves in a state of anxiety; being overly alert or too on. And breathing fuller, deeper, and more even can give you a state of what I call, “active calm”, where you’re calmer throughout the course of the day, have more access to a relaxed state, but you’re still able to function. And so this breath teaches you how to breathe fully, deeply and more even while you’re walking..
The first part of the breath is what I call the wave, where what you want to try to do is simply breathe fuller, deeper and more even to a count of four. So, it’s breathing in for a count of four and out for a count of four. I often will tell people to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, but you might find that that breath falls into its own cadence, where you’re breathing in through your nose and out through your nose. Or you just find a way to breathe that fits for you. So the wave looks like this: in for four, out for four, where your breathing rhythmically even like so. To teach people how to do this, where you’re seeking it with your stride, is simply to walk in cadence, where your breath and your strides follow that rhythmic count of four. It looks like this. So with the wave breathing, you use that along with another breath and you interval one with the other. That breath is called stair breathing, in which case, you’re using a four in, four out pattern of breathing. But, instead of one full breath in for a count of four and out for a count of four, what you’re doing is four small breaths in linked together, and four small breaths out linked together. It looks like this. Or as you’re walking stairs. Stair breathing looks like this, where we link each stride with the breath. So it looks like this. When I’m breath walking, what I find is, I will do stairs or the wave breath. What will often time happen is it will evolve into what I call halfsies, where you’re doing half of one form and half of the other. What I find myself doing is half stair and then half wave, and that looks like this. Sort of imagining that you’re walking up a slide and then sliding down. Half breathing looks like this.
