I do this in the morning when I wake, in the evening when starting to fall asleep and at other times if I need to center or calm down. These breathing exercises are also the fundamental basis of singing, which I find hugely relaxing. I sing weekly with a big group of singers and find that I can enter the rehearsal with my mind buzzing with thoughts and problems, but after a short while of breathing exercises and then concentrating on the music and the director, I am very focused on my breath, my sound and the piece of music we are working on. Singing for me is meditative, relaxing and energizing all at the same time! And the process involves a community of people with a common goal - to make beautiful music! Now that's a great outcome from breathing exercises! Fantastic advice on using the breathe for centering, relaxing and regeneration.
