Conscious Connected Breath and the Diaphragm

This is a short video about conscious connected breath and the diaphragm attached to the level of control and it's in its natural form the diaphragm forms a dome around the ribcage and when we use it, we contract those muscles and we flatten and this causes an expansion in our stomach abdominal area so that when we inhale the lower abdominal area and stomach.

Actually expand this because the air coming into the lungs pushes the diaphragm downwards, the abdominal cavity, and there's an expansion. Yeah, it's actually not going into our belly just has the appearance of expansion when we inhale general session. And during the session, The exhale is very simple.

We just relaxed breath and the diaphragm relaxes and the air is gently released from the lungs. Does not have most people exhale, especially I don't know if he's practiced yoga for example, would have been taught in yoga pranayama breath is quite different form of breath work. So for normal everyday breathing, all you really need to do is relax your diaphragm, the most effective breathing just to use your diaphragm.

You don't want to use your chest muscles, back muscles or your tummy, or anything else for that matter. You just need to contract the diaphragm. So what we do in a conscious connected breathwork session was to introduce each person to their diet. I tend to begin with the most people seated in a semi elevated position.

But I put those who are non diaphragmatic leaders into a slightly different position. And that will be so that they can begin to develop this muscle structure and begin to breathe a little more effectively. About a third of people have never used the diaphragm. And that might be either because they've not been shown how to breathe properly.

Or perhaps because emotionally they've needed to shut down. So if your diaphragm isn't being caged, if you tried breathing and your belly was going up and down, or if you have a session with me, I'll get you to lay on your tummy with your arms up head to the side because this position will engage your diaphragm until that time happens automatically

We should be using our diaphragm with every breath we take it will really make a huge difference. And in a conscious connected breath session I will show you how.
