The Chinese have practiced this simple position to improve the quality of their sleep (and their breathing while asleep) for thousands of years. Today, as sleep disorders and chronic ailments resulting from poor-quality sleeping and breathing are on the increase, we can learn from this powerful yet simple technique.
Get the easy how-to instructions here:
1. Lie in bed on your back.
2. If you are right-handed, cross your left foot over your right foot (vice-versa if you are left-handed).
3. Interlace your fingers on top of your chest.
4. Close your eyes and gently concentrate on your breath. As you listen to your breathing, you will soon drift into a deep and restful sleep.
