12.01.2022 Shallow Breathing Shallow breathing, or chest breathing is the drawing of minimal breath into the lungs, usually by drawing air into the chest area using the intercostal muscles rather than throughout the lungs via the diaphragm. Shallow breathing can be caused by a range of things including anxiety and stress, which is particularly more heightened during a pandemic! ... Deep Breathing When you breathe deeply, the air coming in through your nose fully fills your lungs, and you will notice that your lower belly rises. Let’s practise! 1. Get comfortable. You can lie on your back or sit up straight 2. Breathe in through your nose. Let your belly fill with air. 3. Breathe out through your nose. 4. Place one hand on your belly. 5. As you breathe in, feel your belly rise. 6. Take three more full, deep breaths. Voila! Now, try to bring this technique into your everyday breathing, it doesn’t have to be a super heavy breath but just make sure it’s filling up your diaphragm area too! Why should we be deep breathing? 1. Decreases stress, increases calm 2. Reduces anxiety 3. Relieves pain 4. Stimulates the lymphatic system (Detoxifies the body) 5. Improves immunity 6. Increases energy 7. Lowers blood pressure 8. Improves digestion
