How to Channel Positive Energy Through Breathing

We all live in a stressful, negative world. This breathing exercise will help to relieve you of stress while replacing it with positive energy.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Fifteen minutes of "you" time
• A room where you won't be disturbed
• Meditative music (optional)

1. Set on the floor with legs crossed. If you can't do this, a chair or your bed will do. Make sure to keep your back straight.

2. Breath in for 3 counts, exhale for 3 counts and hold for 3 counts. Do this five times.

3. Continue breathing and imagine a bright white light as you inhale. As you exhale imagine you're blowing out a black cloud of negative energy.

4. Repeat this for 15 minutes. Finish by repeating a self-affirmation of your choosing. Focus on correcting something that causes you stress, something that you can do differently.

Tips & Warnings

• Do this exercise as often as you can through the week.
