A wonderfully fun meditation/breathing technique. I recommend employing this technique throughout the day whenever you're feeling bogged down.
Inhale sharply through your nose and exhale through your mouth in staccato (short + repeated) bursts of breath. As you exhale, stretch your lips horizontally drawing the corners of your mouth up and back. At the same time, keep your eyes semi-closed, your body very relaxed, and your head hanging loosely backwards. Repeat this breathing pattern while vocalizing, "Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha" until you experience a few chuckles.
Warning: Performing this technique on the Muni may get you some weird looks/new friends!
This technique was taken from "Make Health Happen: Training yourself to create wellness" Peper, Gibney, Holt
It's a lovely sunny day in San Francisco!
Enjoy!
