- Sit as usual with your feet flat on the floor shoulder-width apart. Tuck your hips underneath you slightly so that your back is fully supported by the back of your chair.
- Use a finger to hold one of your nostrils closed as you breathe in slowly through the other nostril. Then close that nostril off with your finger and breathe out through the opposite nostril.
- Continue to breathe in through one nostril and out through the other for a total of 6 times. Then alternate so that you are breathing in through the nostril you were breathing out of and breathing out through the other for a total of 6 times.
- Locate the acupressure point labeled Lu 9 (Great Abyss).
- Press firmly on this point on either hand for a full minute while breathing in and out slowly and thoughtfully. You may change hands and repeat.
