Exercises: Exhale Breath is milder and can be done multiple times throughout the day. Start with 5 minutes and work your way up to 15 minutes. Watch for when you begin to yawn uncontrollably. This is the bodi’s signal that you have regulated the gases and should stop the exercise.

Exercise: Huff “n” Puff is a extreme version of the exhale breath. Be cautious as you use this as old stuck feelings, emotions, experiences may come up to be released. This is a phenomenal exercise for helping to get things rolling again.
Only do this once daily.
I recommend doing it five days in a row, then use as needed.

Another really great way to use it is to do 30 days in a row to help break or set habits.
