I don’t know if you have heard of this way of exhaling; I found this mental technique to be very helpful to make breathing slow, relaxed, smooth and deep. Here is my write-up on it.
—————-
Press the tip of your tongue against the soft tissue at the back of your upper teeth. This will help gather some saliva in your mouth. When you are ready, you will swallow this saliva in three small portions . Now inhale slowly then swallow a little saliva gently and feel it moves down to your chest then into your stomach. Now exhale gently and feeling a wave of muscle relaxation move down from your throat to your shoulders, to your chest and down to your stomach. Swallow two more times. Each time first feel the saliva go down smoothly to your stomach, then exhale and feel the wave of muscle relaxation move down slowly to your stomach.

Remember this feeling as you exhale and become familiar with it . You can imagine as though you are blowing into a glowing warm red charcoal in your stomach. Each time you exhale imagine you are exhaling into your stomach blowing into this charcoal, making it brighter and hotter.

My understanding is that this method, or with some variant,is fairly standard in many methods of meditation. I also found it useful to allow me to quickly catch my breath after each set of heavy exercise. If you like it I hope you can incorporate it into one of your videos or MP3s some day.

I implemented this before and after my workout and it really helped me relax and focus on lifting. I’ll probably try to use it to fall asleep tonight as well, as I many problems with insomnia.
