Longer out Longer out. Breathe in for a count of three, and out for a count of six. Six times. Through the nose if you can, through the mouth if not. If six is too long, make it four or five. In, two, three. Out, two, three, four, five, six. In, two, three. Out, two, three, four, five, six. In, two, three. Out, two, three, four, five, six. Three more by yourself, at the same pace. Let the breath settle. Carry on.
