Short Sessions: Dedicate just 5 minutes during breaks to practice Tai Chi breathing. Simple exercises like "Building the Bridge" can be done while seated.
Place the tip of your tongue on the roof of your mouth, relax your jaw, and breathe in through your nose, then exhale slowly through your belly and nostrils.
Integrate Movement with Breathing: Combine Tai Chi movements with your breath. For example, raise your arms while inhaling and lower them while exhaling.
This can be done discreetly at your desk and helps to enhance focus and relaxation throughout the day .
Mindful Breathing: Practice mindful breathing by taking a moment to observe your breath. Inhale deeply, allowing your abdomen to expand, and exhale slowly.
Use Breaks Wisely: During lunch or coffee breaks, engage in brief Tai Chi movements or mindful walking, focusing on your breath as you move
Visualize Energy Flow: While seated, visualize energy flowing through your body with each breath. This mental imagery can enhance the calming effects of Tai Chi breathing, even in a hectic environment.
