OCTOBER POST

Breathing Technique

For the exercise, you’re going to stretch your hand out like a star, with your fingers
spread apart and trace each finger using your other hand (as if we were tracing our
hands to make hand-turkeys) as we breathe. We will start with our thumbs and end with
our pinky fingers.
This activity is called Five-Finger Breathing.

5 finger breathing

Starting at the bottom of your thumb, INHALE through your nose for 2 seconds, tracing
the left side of your thumb from bottom to top
HOLD for 1 second when you hit the tip of your thumb
EXHALE through your mouth for 2 seconds, tracing down the right side of your thumb.
Next, move onto your pointer finger and keep going until you have finished tracing all
5-fingers!
This type of breathing helps to calm our brain and allows us to get in-tune with our
breathing, senses, and surroundings.
