WHEN IT IS HELPFUL

Diaphragmatic breathing technique may be helpful for:

- increasing lung capacity
- lowering anxiety
- preventing fatigue and brain fog
- relaxation
- boosting immunity and cell regeneration
- healthy sleep

HOW IT WORKS

Most people do not fully use their breathing capacity, accustomed to shallow “chest breathing”. Diaphragmatic (“stomach”, “belly”) breathing allows to take much more air in one breath:

- when stomach breathing, we consciously use our diaphragm, the large dome-shaped muscle right under our lungs, to fully expand and open our lungs, to take deeper breaths
- as we inhale, our diaphragm does all the way down, and our stomach expands
- as we exhale, the diaphragm contracts and pushes the air out

HOW TO DO IT

1. Breath in through your nose.
2. Breathe out slowly through your mouth or through your nose.
3. It may be helpful to place one hand on your abdomen and the other one on your chest, so you can feel how your belly moves rather than your chest.

HOW MUSIC HELPS

The accompanying music track helps to learn diaphragmatic breathing. Based on principles of neurologic music therapy, it creates an external rhythmic structure and helps the listener to perform the exercise, to breathe in and out in time, to relax into the new routine and to do the certain number of repetitions without thinking about the numbers.
