Edgar Cayce's Meditation for Everyone Breathing Exercises Three-Stage Deep Breathing Filling the Lungs: Stage 1: Fill bottom of lungs; abdomen expands. Stage 2: Fill middle third of lungs; chest cavity expands. Stage 3: Fill top third of lungs; shoulders lift.. Emptying the lungs: Stage 1: Top third of lungs empties first, shoulders relax. Stage 2: Chest cavity contracts, pushing air out of middle third of lungs. Stage 3: Abdomen is pulled in, forcing all remaining air out of lungs. Repeat three times, using the three-stage deep-breathing exercise. Alternate-Nostril Breathing Left nostril is held closed, air is drawn in through right nostril. Air is exhaled through mouth. Right nostril is held closed; air is drawn in through left nostril. Left nostril is then closed; air is exhaled through the open right nostril. Repeat three times, again using the three stage deep-breathing exercise. Back to Meditation in Seven Steps | Next- Meditation Aides
