As you begin to count during the exhale, it actually keeps you focused on the moment and distracts the thoughts which contribute to the anxiety. There are many wonderful breathing techniques. Experiment and find the rhythm right for you. The breathe is very powerful.

(Have actually amended the article slightly to reflect that a bit more.) There's clearly an enormous amount of benefit that can come from breathing differently. All the best.

In other words, no force. Also, don't try "to take" an inhalation. Let it arise on its own after the counting is finished. Here's a very safe, easy, and effective breathing practice that I developed to reduce stress and anxiety: http://wp.me/prVq1-8C. This will give you a good idea of the principles involved in lengthening the exhalation in a safe way, and thus turning on "the relaxation response." Keep up the good work!

It's very nice and it really works. I teach and some of my students feel nervous before speaking. I taught them this technique and they are nice now. Cheers. It’s amazing.
