Breathing techniques
Breath work is an important part of Mushin, and here are some of the techniques we use.
You can use these techniques to quieten the mind, help reduce anxiety, prepare you for the day, or help you unwind when the day is over.
Diaphragmatic (Belly) Breathing
  1. Find a comfortable position, sitting or lying down, with one hand on your chest and the other on your belly. 
  2. Inhale slowly and deeply through your nose, allowing your belly to rise while the hand on your chest remains relatively still. 
  3. Exhale slowly through your mouth, feeling your belly lower. 
  4. Repeat for several minutes, focusing on the movement of your belly. 
4-7-8 Breathing
  1. Sit with your back straight.
  2. Exhale completely through your mouth, making a "whoosh" sound.
  3. Close your mouth and inhale quietly through your nose for a count of 4.
  4. Hold your breath for a count of 7.
  5. Exhale completely through your mouth, making a "whoosh" sound for a count of 8.
  6. Repeat the cycle three more times. 
Resonance breathing
  1. Lie down and close your eyes.
  2. Gently inhale through your nose for a count of six seconds.
  3. Exhale for six seconds, allowing the air to leave slowly.
