In this exercise, start at the scalp (knitting brow) and work your way down to your toes (clenching toes).

At each region of the body, do a tense & relax exercise while simultaneously doing the abdominal breathing.

On ONE:  Tense the muscles in the selected region and inhale and expand the abdomen.

On TWO, THREE, and FOUR:  Slowly relax the muscles in the selected region and exhale.

On FIVE:  Rest.  The muscles are fully relaxed, air is fully exhaled, and the abdomen collapses inward.
