Observe your breath

Even though you have (hopefully) been breathing all your life, it is likely that you have never paid much deliberate attention to how you do it (before you start learning breathwork techniques).

Take a moment to observe how you are breathing right now.

• Are you breathing through your nose or your mouth?
• Where does the movement begin — the chest, the belly, somewhere else?
• Is your breathing shallow or does it feel deeper?
• Is it rhythmical, or a little irregular?
