Breathing exercise: heart health

Breathe deeply and exhale slowly five times. Focus on the heart. Stand up, extend open arms to shoulder height with palms facing up. Rotate the torso to the right, inhale, and left, exhaling.

Repeat the exercise five times and then reverse the procedure: Turn left, inhale, and then turn right, exhaling. Complete the exercise with a minute of relaxation. At the time, inwardly repeating: "My back is free of weight. My heart is healthy and strong."
