100 BREATHS IN 15 MINUTES

Try this meditation:
Count from 100-90(11 breaths), inhaling and exhaling as much as humanly possible, gulping the last of your breath on the inhale and pushing out every last bit of air on your exhale.
From 89-80, fully inhale and exhale, with no gulp or extra push.
79-70, inhale and exhale deeper, but quicker.
69-60, still deeper and quicker.
59-50, quickest, deepest breaths.
49-40, longer, but still deep and quick
39-30, still longer, still deep
29-20, longer, fuller
19-10, fullest inhale and exhale, without extra gulp and push
9-1, fully inhale and exhale, with extra push on the exhale and the extra gulp on the inhale.
0 - take a moment of silence
open your eyes.
So, basically, you start with the fullest, longest breath possible and work your way towards the quickest, deepest breath possible, then work your back.
This had an amazing effect on me. my legs and arms got tingly, my heart got light, and my whole body relaxed.
This was, by far my favorite meditation, actually the first one i truly enjoyed.
Let me know what you think!

ps- i started the meditation at 9:02 and when i opened by eyes, it was 9:17! (that's approximately 7 breaths a minute!)
