Sure:) Breathe in through your nose with your hand on your abdomen & watch it rise. Breathe out through your mouth & watch your abdomen fall. Try to keep it slow & easy. The trick is re-learning how to breathe properly. We usually suck our abdomens *in* when we take in a breath & that isn't the natural way. HTH (((hugs))) jan
