Breathing Exercises for Stress Relief
in deep abdominal breathing, as this helps stabilise homeostasis (the even functioning of body's biological field) by regularising the main bodily functions. 
Thus we come to know again that breathing exercises reduce stress. I really like this one! 
Standing, feet parallel, shoulder-width apart, knees well bent and pelvis 'rolled under', with spine and neck straight throughout the exercise. Slightly bend your elbows, change both hands into half fists and place them on each side of the waist, centre of fist facing up. Take a slow, fine, deep in-breath through the nose. Slowly turn your waist 45 degrees towards the left while lifting your right arm and with a slow, fine deep out-breath through your half-opened mouth, At the end of this movement change the palm into a half fist, fist facing up and Take a slow, fine deep in-breath through the nose. Bend the right arm and bring back the right hand to the right side of the waist.
Repeat the movement, this time turning the waist towards the right and pushing with the left palm. Both movements count as one. Do this form at least 6 times. Another dimension to this exercise is the visualisation: Visualise you are letting all your inner STRESS leave the body with the out-breath ie the stress 'rides the breath' on its way out. Visualise you are absorbing new, fresh vital energy with the in-breath. This movement is a VERY good Breathing Exercise for Stress Relief. Do take the time to practise - actually it hardly takes any time!
