• Cooling breath Gently clench your teeth, ensuring that the top and bottom touch and open your lips slightly. Take a breath through your teeth (counting to 5) and raise your chin to the sky, letting the cool air rush over your teeth and tongue. Exhale through your nose (counting to 5) lowering your chin simultaneously. Repeat for 5-10 minutes.
• Visualized breathing For this breathing technique, you need to combine slowed breathing with your imagination. Picture relaxation entering your body every time you breathe in and tension leaving your body every time you breathe out. Breathe deeply, but in a natural rhythm. Visualize the air coming into your nostrils, going into your lungs, and expanding your chest and abdomen. Then visualize, your breath going out the same way. Continue breathing, but each time you inhale, imagine that you are breathing in more relaxation. Each time you exhale imagine that you are getting rid of a little more tension.
