You will need

- A quiet room
- Phone on airplane mode
- A closed door

Method
- Lie on your back in your chosen quiet room
- Close the door, set a 5 min timer on your phone or watch & put it on airplane mode
- Put the book on your belly
- Breathe in & out your nose, making the book rise & fall on your belly
- If your chest continues to move as you breathe, place your hands on it and apply gentle pressure to encourage your belly to do the work.
- As you breathe in, your belly rises, as you breathe out your belly falls
- Breathe in & out of your nose, & when you get into a rhythm start to lengthen the exhalation.
- Count to three as you breathe in & six as you exhale
- Lie here for 5 mins
