Some points about using breath as a stress relieving technique: While concentrating on your breathing pattern imagine your tensions melting away with your exhalation and imagine breathing in peace with your inhalation. You can also put your hands on your abdomen and take a slow deep breath. This is called Abdominal breathing. Try to make the inhalation and exhalation of breaths last the same length of time. Concentrate on making the transfer between the inhalation and exhalation smooth and not 'jerky'. Close your eyes for better concentration. You might like to try opening your mouth on the exhalation and sighing "aaahh". Imagine all your stress leaving your body.
