6-6-6 Is A Nice Number

Here is a very simple variation on deep breathing:

Breathe into your belly for a count of 6,

letting the chest fill up after the belly is full,

hold for 6,

exhale for 6.

That's 6-6-6.

You can also try 6-6-6-6,

which is adding a breath-hold after you exhale.

Repeat 6 times.

Or 3 or 4 or 12 or 22 times-

whatever feels good to you.

It's THAT easy to regulate your nervous system

de-stress, healthier heart function, toned lung function, brighter brain activity, and gets the happiness chemicals flowing.
