I don't know if this will help you, but there is a part of your brain that is in control of your breathing. It's done this since you were born. We can't forget to take a breathe, because this wonderful mechanism does this for us and will force us to take a breath. Now, even when we try "to control" this breathing, it still does it job. Just think - It regulates your breath all the time when your sleeping. Many females tend to breathe from the chest. Remember when you saw you daughter breathe as an infant during sleep. Practice breathing in the manner you saw - slow deep breathing coming in from the belly. You can start by the exhale first. Exhale deeply and empty the belly and count to 8. When you feel all the air is out, count to 4, then inhale counting to 6. Then stop, count to four, then the exhale counting to 8. Visualize a circle starting at the belly - 8 - 4 - 6 - 4 - 8. You may feel different feelings, but welcome it. You are learning to "consciously" slow your breathing. This is your own natural tranquilizer you can carry everywhere you go. It takes practice. Do this at least 5 cycles in a row. Some cultures believe that the spirit is housed in the breath, so they savor each breath slowly and deeply.
