Expert Consensus — Clinical practice 专家共识 — 临床实践
How to Practice
- Find a safe, private place. This is not about stopping tears — it is about supporting your body through them.
- Sit or lie with one hand on your heart and one on your belly.
- Inhale softly through your nose for 4 seconds, letting your belly rise.
- Exhale very slowly for 8 seconds — as long, gentle, and complete as possible.
- Repeat without rushing. There is no target — simply breathe through whatever you feel.
如何练习
- 找一个安全、私密的地方。这不是为了停止哭泣——而是在哭泣中支撑你的身体。
- 坐着或躺下，一手放在心脏处，一手放在腹部。
- 用鼻腔轻柔地吸气4秒，让腹部上升。
- 非常缓慢地呼气8秒——尽可能长、温柔、完整。
- 不急不忙地重复。没有目标——只是在感受中呼吸。
