Begin the inhale with an Abdominal Breath. Then add the Chest Breath and finish with a Clavicular Breath. All three are done in a smooth motion. Start the exhale by relaxing the clavicle, then slowly emptying the chest. Finally, pull in the abdomen to force out any remaining air. Breathe through the nose. Continue for 26 breaths, or 3 – 31 minutes. For Beginners: Start by filling the abdomen, then expanding the chest, and finally lifting the upper ribs and clavicle. The exhale is the reverse: first the upper deflates, then the middle, and finally the abdomen pulls in and up, as the Navel Point pulls back toward the spine. To learn LDB, practice by separating the three parts of the breath. Sit straight on the floor, in a chair,  Initially have the left hand on the belly, right hand on the chest to feel the movement of the diaphragm. Abdominal Breath: Let the breath relax to a normal pace and depth.   Place one hand on the Navel Point and one on the center of the chest. On the inhale, raise the hand on the navel toward the ceiling. On the exhale lower it steadily. With your hand, monitor the chest to stay still and relaxed. Very soon you will notice all the muscles involved in this motion. Chest Breath:  Inhale slowly using the chest muscles. The chest expands by using the intercostal muscles between the ribs.. If you place your hands on the top and bottom parts of the ribs you can feel how the bottom ribs move more than the top ones. . So much of the contribution of the ribs and intercostal muscles comes from an expansion out to the sides of the lower ribs. Clavicular Breath: . Lift the chest without inhaling. Now inhale slowly by expanding the shoulders and the collarbone. Exhale as you keep the chest lifted. Putting the parts together: Each part of the breath expansion is distinct. If all three are combined, you have a complete Long Deep Breath. Begin the inhale with an Abdominal Breath. Then add the Chest Breath and finish with a Clavicular Breath. All three are done in a smooth motion.
