Correct Process of Breathing DURING INHALATION Neck and shoulders remain relaxed. As the breath goes downward, the chest expands, the rib cage elevates, diaphragm goes down and the belly comes out. The area between sternum, navel and perineum stretches. The upper back widens and the lumbar arch slightly deepens. DURING EXHALATION Neck and shoulders remain relaxed. Diaphragm relaxes, chest and ribcage retract to their pre-inhalation size and position, the belly goes in, navel slightly pulled in towards the back and the lumbar arch in the low back slightly flattens. Helpful Hints • Do upper and lower body exercises. • Stretch the whole body • Move your spine in every which direction. Practice gentle forward bending, backward bending, side ways bending, spine elongation and spinal twists • Learn at least one technique of physical and mental relaxation and practice it at least three times a day • Manage and temper your emotions because they can compromise your breathing. • Reduce and manage your stress because your breathing is affected during stressful moments • Learn and practice gentle yoga
Check and Improve Your Own Breathing Use the “hand Technique” Sit in a quiet place and just settle down for a minute or two. Put your hand, horizontally, about one inch above your navel. Close your eyes. Breathe normally without trying to influence your breathing one way or the other. Observe how your belly moves every time you breathe in and breathe out. If you are breathing correctly, you should find that the hand over the tummy moves as you breathe in and out. This is called “abdominal breathing.” Abdominal breathing is good but don’t deliberately puff your belly out, let the belly be relaxed. Also, if upper chest and/or shoulder and neck go up and down as you breathe in and out, let your neck and shoulder relax. Belly Movement Having checked yourself for the abdominal breathing, you may now check if your belly is moving in the right pattern. Close your eyes again and track your hand on the belly. Belly should bulge OUT when you breathe IN Belly should pull IN when you breathe OUT. Tips for Correcting Belly Movement If the belly does not move correctly as for example, belly moves in when you inhale, you need to correct it. Here is how to: “Take a slow, deep breath in and breathe out slowly and steadily. The next breath will come in automatically, that is without your effort. Your tummy will move outward as you breathe in and move inward as you breathe out.” If your tummy begins to move incorrectly or not move at all or only chest moves but not belly, relax and reestablish correct breathing. Take a deep, slow, easy breath and blow it out, slowly and steadily. Do it as many times as you need to. It will get better. Form the Habit of Conscious Breathing
