So, lie down on the mat on his back, legs bent at the knees (between the femur and tibia 90 degree angle), feet on the floor, one hand on his chest, the other on his stomach. When the respiratory movements, they will help us a bit.
Inhalation straighten and fill the chest and pulls the stomach, exhale on the contrary - inflate the abdomen and chest omitted. It turns out "wave"! The rate of respiration - the usual for you, no need speed up or slow down. But if there was a slight dizziness, breathing slowly. To get started, simply complete 40 cycles (take a breath), then they can be brought up to 60 and to carry out only when he felt an attack of false hunger.
