Aquaman Lungs
This stash is a breathing exercise to increase how much you can hold your breath. You can also do this during meditation.
- Hold your breath and record it for a before and after exercise comparison.
- Breath deeply through the mouth and exhale naturally through the nose. Your diaphragm should be rising not the chest. Do this 29 times.
- On the 30th, breath deeply and hold it for as long as you can. Closing your eyes is helpful to avoid distraction. Make sure to record this.
- Compare your time record and see the difference.
