Kids and Teens Level 6 Lesson

Remember to do your nose clearing exercises before you begin. Level 3 contains the instructions for Dragon breathing.

Level 6 completion with 30 second breath pauses.

Remember to submit your times at the end of the level.

Practice Level 5 and 6 at least 2 or 3 times a day.

Any time your brain is busy, remember to focus on 3 things you see, 3 things you hear and 3 things you feel. Then 2 of each of those senses, then one of each. They can be the same or different things each time. If safe, you can close your eyes and in your favourite place image 3 things you see, hear and feel, then 2 of each and one of each, in your imagination. This is a really good relaxation and will slow your breathing down as well.

Remember your daily walk for 20 minutes with nose breathing. Every minute or two you can count your steps in the pause at the end of the outbreath. You must be able to return to slow relaxed nose breathing within two steps. Any longer and you have paused for two long. Breathe from your belly up into your chest. Keep your shoulders dropped.

Keep taping your mouth at night with a slit cut in the tape- never when you feel sick, have sleeping tablets or for adults no alcohol.

Make notes in the comments box above about how well you are doing.

When you are consistently getting to 25 seconds you can see your healthcare provider for an asthma medication review. Do not make any changes to your medication yourself, or stop any steroid medication immediately as this can be a big shock to your body.
