‘Breathing exercises’ Meet the Best Psychiatrists - Dr. Anuja Kelkar (MBBS, MD)

 

Breathing exercises are simple yet effective techniques for reducing stress, improving focus, and enhancing overall well-being. They involve controlled, mindful breathing patterns to calm the nervous system and promote relaxation.

One common method is deep diaphragmatic breathing, where you inhale deeply through the nose, allowing the abdomen to expand, then exhale slowly through the mouth. This technique helps activate the body's relaxation response, reducing stress and anxiety.

The 4-7-8 breathing exercise, developed by Dr. Andrew Weil, involves inhaling through the nose for a count of four, holding the breath for seven counts, and exhaling through the mouth for eight counts. This method is particularly effective for calming the mind and aiding sleep.

Another technique is box breathing, which involves inhaling for four counts, holding the breath for four counts, exhaling for four counts, and pausing for four counts before repeating.

Regular practice of these exercises can improve lung function, enhance concentration, and promote emotional stability.
