The right hand will move up with inhalation and down with exhalation. The left hand should not move with the breath. There should be no tension in the abdomen. Do not try to force the movement in any way. Try not to expand the chest or move the shoulders. Feel the abdomen expanding and contracting. Continue breathing slowly and deeply.

Inhale while expanding the abdomen as much as possible, without expanding the rib cage. At the end of the inhalation the diaphragm will be compressing the abdomen and the navel will be at its highest point. On exhalation the diaphragm moves upward and the abdomen moves downward. At the end of the exhalation the abdomen will be contracted and the navel compressed towards the spine. Continue for a few minutes.
