How do I practice abdominal breathing?

Now sit in a chair and lean back comfortably. Place your fingers on your stomach, so that the tips of your fingers are just slightly touching, right around the area of your belly button. When you breathe in, you should see your fingertips rise slightly as your belly inflates; as you exhale, your fingertips will come back together again as your stomach deflates.

If you haven't been breathing like this naturally, it may feel forced or unnatural right now. That's okay: do it anyway. You may find that you have to push the air down into your diaphragm to inflate your belly; if you have a really hard time, you may want to try doing this exercise lying down, which will make it a little easier to get the air down farther, past your chest.

Do this for a few moments, being mindful of your breath, just noticing how it feels to breathe, watching your belly rise and fall with your breath. When your attention wanders from your breath, just notice that this happens and bring your attention back.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
