| 0:00.0 | This is episode 1068. |
| 0:04.0 | Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:08.0 | And welcome back to our week of exploring conflict, how to manage conflict following the wisdom of one of the great |
| 0:20.9 | masters of warfare, Sue from way back in the latter part of the sixth century |
| 0:47.1 | when he wrote his classic The Old of the art of war that is still used today. So we've been following excerpts from the art of war and applying them to how we could manage conflict internally and externally within our lives. |
| 0:52.4 | And in today's episode you're going to discover a breathing technique |
| 0:59.7 | to help you manage conflict and you will find that your breath can become your most |

| 2:02.4 | simply relax your stomach muscles. |
| 2:07.0 | Letting your stomach hang out, not sucking it in. |
| 2:10.0 | We like to go around looking a little trmor so we suck in our stomach that actually |
| 2:16.5 | cuts off a lot of oxygen and you're not allowing your diaphragm to expand fully. |
| 2:24.6 | When you relax your stomach, you allow yourself a full diaphragmatic breath |
| 2:30.8 | where you tap into those small blood vessels in the lower part of your lungs. |
