Diaphragmatic breathing is one of the most simple yet most effective ways of improving one’s overall health and wellbeing with the least amount of cost and time investment. Similar to Mindful breathing. It is one technique, simplified in three stages for depth of experience and understanding which can be easily integrated into any modern lifestyle.
We feel it’s relaxing and here is why
Research demonstrates significant body-mind changes in the simple process of diaphragmatic breathing. Each breath, millions of sensory receptors in the respiratory system send signals via the vagus nerve to the brainstem. Fast breathing pings the brain at a higher rate, triggering it to activate the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight response), turning up stress hormones, heart rate, blood pressure, muscle tension, sweat production, and anxiety. On the other hand, slowing your breathing induces the parasympathetic response (rest and digest – relaxed state), dialing down all of the above as it turns up relaxation and mental clarity.
