In between breaths and often even just through the course of the day, and especially if we get stressed, those avioli of the lungs start to collapse. And because they're damp on the inside, they have a little bit of fluid. They're like a balloon with alittle bit of fluid in the middle. Now, you're not literally exploding them, pop, but you're re-inflating them with air. And then you perform the long exhale through the mouth until lungs are empty. So it looks exactly like this. Doing one physiological sigh is the fastest physiologically verified way that we are aware of to reduce your levels of stress and to reintroduce calm.
