“I think everyone gets nervous before big events, it’s natural, isn’t it?” said the wife of Prince Charles, Camilla, in an ITV documentary on her 75th birthday on July 17. Queen Elizabeth II’s daughter-in-law also has a recipe for her nervousness: “I take a deep breath and keep going.”
Ruth Asenbaum, head of therapy at the Bad Mühllacken spa, explains how abdominal breathing works: Sit or stand upright, don’t raise your shoulders. Breathe in deeply through your nose, then hold your breath for a while and breathe out slowly through your mouth. Inhale ten to 20 times consciously into the abdomen so that it bulges out and retracts again when exhaling. You can put your hands on your stomach for a better feel.
