when meditating should i exhale through my mouth
Try breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth. For a slower, more relaxing meditation, try the 4-7-8 exercise. Exhale, then close your mouth and inhale for four seconds, hold your breath for 7 seven seconds, and exhale over the course of 8 seconds. Hold your breath in for 2 seconds. Focus on the curve of your breath.
