Step 4: Breathe Out Through Your Mouth

Mouth


How to do it:
  1. Breathe out slowly and evenly through your mouth.

  2. Again, count silently. Exhalation should take about twice as long as inhalation. So if you counted to three when you inhaled, strive to count to six when you exhale, but don't force it.
