How to Practice
- Step away briefly if possible — a bathroom, hallway, or outside. If not, breathe where you are.
- Lower your gaze or close your eyes to reduce visual stimulation.
- Inhale slowly through your nose for 4 seconds, focusing on the feeling of air entering.
- Exhale gently through your nose for 6 seconds, softening your shoulders as you do.
- Repeat 5–8 cycles. Notice the internal quiet building with each breath.
如何练习
- 如果可能，短暂离开——去洗手间、走廊或室外。如果不行，就在原地呼吸。
- 低垂目光或闭上眼睛，减少视觉刺激。
- 用鼻腔缓慢吸气4秒，专注于感受空气进入的感觉。
- 用鼻腔轻柔呼气6秒，同时放松肩膀。
- 重复5–8个循环。注意随每次呼吸积聚的内在宁静。
