Three Sighs is a classical spot-meditation: it's so versatile and portable that everyone should do it regularly.
It can be done anywhere, anytime, in any position or activity and with your eyes open or closed.
It will get you out of your head and bring you back to earth immediately. Sigh as often as you feel like.
You can easily do it twenty times a day. Don't worry if your family or workmates think you're unhappy or exasperated.
To be relaxed is more important than what people think about you!
I commonly sigh whenever I stand up and start to walk somewhere
even if it's just across the room. When I get up from the computer, I deliberately sigh to open up my posture.
Whenever I walk out of my house or get out of my car, I think 'Breathe!'
The big in-breath opens my chest and oxygenates my lungs.
The long out-breath lets all the stale air go and softens the belly, and the pause at the end centres my mind in my body.
I feel my posture become more upright and open and energised.
Three Sighs are a delight, and well worth those few seconds!" (Harrison 2005)
