       11..  Lie on your back on a flat surface or in bed, with your knees bent 
       11..
        and your head supported. You can use a pillow under your knees to 
        support your legs. Place one hand on your upper chest and the 
        other just below your rib cage. This will allow you to feel your 
        diaphragm move as you breathe.  
      
      
      
      
      
      
       22..  Breathe in slowly through your nose so that your stomach moves 
       22..
        out against your hand. The hand on your chest should remain as 
        still as possible. 
                                      
                         
      
      
       33..  Tighten your stomach muscles, letting them fall inward as you 
       33..
        exhale through pursed lips (see "Pursed Lip Breathing Technique"). 
        The hand on your upper chest must remain as still as possible. 
      
      
      
      
      
     When you first learn the diaphragmatic breathing technique, it may be 
     easier for you to follow the instructions lying down, as shown on the first 
     page. As you gain more practice, you can try the diaphragmatic breathing 
     technique while sitting in a chair, as shown below.

     TToo p peerrfoforrmm  ththiiss e exxeerrcciissee w whhiillee  ssiitttitinngg i inn a a  cchhaaiirr::
       11..  Sit comfortably, with your knees bent and your shoulders, head and 
       11..
        neck relaxed.  
        
       22..  Place one hand on your upper chest and the 
       22..
        other just below your rib cage. This will allow you 
        to feel your diaphragm move as you breathe.  
      
       33..  Tighten your stomach muscles, letting them fall inward as you 
       33..
        exhale through pursed lips (see "Pursed Lip Breathing Technique"). 
        The hand on your upper chest must remain as still as possible.  
      
     Note: You may notice an increased effort will be needed to use the 
     diaphragm correctly. At first, you'll probably get tired while doing this 
     exercise. But keep at it, because with continued practice, diaphragmatic 
     breathing will become easy and automatic.

     At first, practice this exercise 5-10 minutes about 3-4 times per day. 
     Gradually increase the amount of time you spend doing this exercise, and 
     perhaps even increase the effort of the exercise by placing a book on your 
     abdomen.
