Deep Breathing Tips The key to deep breathing is to

If you find it difficult breathing from your abdomen while sitting up, try lying on the floor.

When you take deep breaths from the abdomen, rather than shallow breaths from your upper chest, you inhale more oxygen.

The more oxygen you get, the less tense, short of breath, and anxious you feel.
