Find a comfortable position: Sit or lie down in a quiet space with your back straight and your eyes closed. Allow your body to relax and release any tension.
Take a deep inhale through your nose or mouth: Inhale slowly and deeply, filling your lungs to a count of 5. Feel the breath entering your body, expanding your abdomen, ribcage, and chest.
Hold the breath: Pause for a count of 5, retaining the breath gently without straining. Focus on the stillness and the energy building within you.
Exhale slowly through your mouth: Release the breath gradually and completely, counting to 7. Feel the tension leaving your body and allow yourself to relax deeply with each exhale.
Repeat the cycle: Inhale again for a count of 5, hold for 5, and exhale for 7. Continue this rhythmic pattern for 3-5 minutes or as long as feels comfortable for you. Stay present with each breath, embracing the sense of calm and conscious control over your compulsions.
