How to practice deep breathing

• Sit comfortably with your back straight put one hand on your chest and another one on your stomach
• Breath in through your noise. The hand on your stomach should rise. The hand on your chest should move very little.
• Exhale through your mouth. Pushing out as much air as you can while contracting your abdominal muscle. The hand on your stomach should mone in as you exhale,but your other hand should move very little
