Description
Sit in bed with your mouth gently closed (not pursed) and breathe through your nose at a natural pace for about 30 seconds. Breathe a bit more intentionally in and out through your nose once. Gently pinch your nose closed with your thumb and forefinger, keeping your mouth closed as well, until you feel that you need to take a breath again. With your mouth still closed, take a deep breath in and out through your nose again.

Evaluation System
Regularly track improvements in breathing ease, relaxation, and overall well-being. Adjust the exercise duration and intensity based on individual needs.
Assessment
This breathing exercise represents a modern approach to respiratory health and recovery. By integrating visualization with traditional breathing techniques, it offers a holistic method to support lung function and relaxation. This innovative practice combines mental imagery with structured breathing patterns to enhance the efficacy of respiratory therapy.
