Relaxation and breathing
The relaxation and breathing techniques are usually very close, and relaxation exercises begin work on respiration. Once that is achieved adequate respiration are ready to proceed with the relaxation exercise in itself.

A breath control is a good strategy to cope with stress and regulate physiological changes produced by this type of emotional disorders.
A breathing exercise that we can practice at home is intended to lead inspired air to the bottom of the lungs. For this rests a hand on her belly and one in the stomach. By breathing we achieve that moves the hand on the belly, while the other hand should be moving. It seems difficult at first but we can control this technique after 15 or 20 minutes of practice.
The next step is to learn to direct air to the intermediate zone of the lungs. Is equal to the previous year just that once filled the lower air, the air is carried into the middle of the lungs, through the movement of the hands we realize where it is headed the air we breathe.
The next step is to completely fill the lungs with air in its three sections, low, medium and high. First the abdomen, then the stomach and finally the chest.
Following this we learn to exhale fully, to expel all air. It exhales a bit closed lips so as to produce a low whistle.
After these steps we can start with relaxation, and we will be much more willing and prepared to do it if we ideal breathing.
