What are some simple Tai Chi breathing exercises I can do at my desk

Complete Breathing: Sit up straight and exhale completely. Inhale deeply through your nose, allowing your abdomen to expand first, then your chest.

Hold for a moment, then exhale slowly through your mouth, feeling your abdomen contract. Repeat for 5 minutes, focusing on the rhythm of your breath

Ocean Breathing: – With your hands resting on your lower abdomen, inhale deeply through your nose, visualizing energy rising in your body.

– Exhale slowly through your mouth, imagining the energy flowing out. – Continue this cycle, aiming for a smooth and continuous breath pattern.

Pursed-Lip Breathing: – Inhale deeply through your nose for a count of two. – Purse your lips as if blowing out a candle and exhale slowly for a count of four. – Repeat this pattern for several minutes to help calm your mind

Arm Movement with Breath: – Inhale while raising your arms to shoulder height. – Exhale as you lower them back down. – Synchronize your breath with the movement for about 10 repetitions

Mindful Breathing:Focus on your breath without changing it. Observe how it feels as you inhale and exhale. This practice can be done anytime during the day to enhance mindfulness and reduce stress levels.
