A breathing exercise to release the pressure
To integrate meditation into his daily life, the writer and philosopher has developed many simple and effective tips. In his work My school of happiness, he proposes in particular an exercise called “The comforting breath”. The idea? Use your breathing to ease tension.
To practice this exercise, it only takes a few seconds. To begin with, it is advisable to inhale through the nose, “deep but slowly”, in order to fill his abdomen with air. “Hold your breath for a second or two before you start to exhale, just as slowly, through your mouth this time.”, writes Fabrice Midal.
He then recommends waiting a second or two and starting the exercise again. “Four or five deep breaths will be enough to soothe or rejuvenate you. This comforting breath is a beneficent friend. Do not hesitate to abuse it whenever you feel the need.”, adds the philosopher and writer.
