Day 30: 5 minutes of deep breathing

Here's what to do:
Day 30


And so we come to the final task of our challenge - 5 minutes of deep breathing. A fitting end. An interesting method - a 4-count in, a 7-count hold and an 8-count out. Having practised yogic breathing techniques and the so-called "Satanic"breathing (6-count in, 6-count hold and 6-count out) I found this count quite challenging. I even hyperventilated slightly.


Deep breathing is an excellent practice to use along with meditation to get you focused as you go into a meditative state. It is also an excellent practice to guard against stress and anxiety.
