7 Tips to Meditate Like a Pro:

Meditation is one of the best habits I've created.

It helps me feel more calm right away.

Here are 7 meditations I love.

1) 4-7-8 breathing

Inhale for 4 seconds.

Hold for 7 seconds.

Exhale for 8 seconds.

2) In and out breathing

Inhale while saying "breathing in" in your head.

Exhale while saying "breathing out" in your head.

3) Lion's breath

Inhale deeply.

Exhale as forcefully as you can through your mouth.

4) Diaphragm breathing

Gently place your one hand on your abdomen.

Focus on pushing your stomach out while inhaling.

Focus on pulling your stomach back in while exhaling.

5) Wim Hof breathing

Inhale and exhale normally 30 to 40 times.

Once you feel slight discomfort, inhale deeply.

Hold your breath for 10 to 15 seconds.

Exhale forcefully through your mouth.

Repeat this process 3 to 6 times per session.

6) Pursed lip breathing

Inhale slowly through your nose for 2 counts.

Purse or pucker your lips as if you were going to whistle.

Exhale slowly by blowing air through your pursed lips for 4 counts.

7) Even breathing

Inhale and exhale for equal durations of time.

Continue this process for at least 5 minutes.
