   A simple technique would be your eyes gazing straight now listen and feel your breath as it moves from inhale to exhale, in and out breaths and pay attention to how your breathing. Is it fast? Is it shallow and quick? Is it steady and calm? With stress or tension, we have a tendency to hold in our breath and this creates lack of oxygen to the brain resulting in more anxiety, tension and ill health.

Now that you have a sense of the rythm of your breath then start breathing in slowly and out slowly. your training your breath to breath normally. This may take a few times before you do it naturally again. So, gazing with the eyes in front of you and then breathe and pay attention to that breath.
