Diaphragmatic Breathing Demonstration from Michigan Medicine

Literally saved me from the worst panic attack ever! My therapist sent me the link to this video

[@laurakurdila]

Dr. Riehl, I really appreciate this video and guided instruction. I use this when teach both residents and patients. It's short enough that most people will listen all the way through and then save it for practice or booster training down the road. Thank you!

[@sashineb.2114]

Excellent instruction. I have just had a major heart attack and quadruple bypass surgery. The physiotherapist helped me with this breathing, but the video is even more helpful. Thank you for this.

[@mariesgarden1619]

She explains nicely. Others say way too much and go too fast. And it's almost the opposite of what your trying to achieve which is a peaceful breathing pattern. In this video the speaker did an excellent job at showing and explaining her technique. Thank you

[@hobi1kenobi112]

This was good teaching. I'm glad you teach the routine of not pulling the stomach muscles in on the exhale (as several others teachers do) because it's stressful on the abdominal muscles. You only need to inhale/exhale gently and naturally with diaphragm breathing.

[@raytweets]

Can someone please explain to me about after i try breathing from the stomach a few times, there is a feeling on the chest like i cant breathe and i have to fully breathe from the chest to get rid of that uneasy feeling.

[@justindelove8960]

yes, i have had this problem. it took me a long time and a study of anatomy to correct. 'stomach' breathing is an illusion as the lungs are in the upper torso. when the diaphragm (a ring muscle around your waist) contracts your lungs expand (like squeezing a balloon and around its center). This expansion moves down as well as up, and it is the downward movement that creates the illusion of 'stomach breathing'. if you constrict your chest the downward movement will be stronger and the belly stick out a bit. however constricting your chest is dangerous and can cause many problems, like the ones you mention. there is a better way though. when you exert yourself to the point you must breath through your mouth, your breathing pattern changes automatically. instead of breathing up into your chest, you expand your lungs into your back taking deep powerful breaths. if you practice this you will develop a nice slim waist and a broad powerful back, which most athletes display well. this back breathing can be slowed down. and used for relaxation and revitalization bend your knees and breath in hard but slow as you sink down. feel you back rips expand to its limit. Breathe out slowly and powerfully through your mouth as you come up. then try breathing through your nose and doing the same thing. after that try sitting down and slower and gentler. you will notice that pressure runs down your and into the lower torso. the waist remains tight, but the belly expands. the lungs though are free to expand to their limit in the ribs at the back.

[@krzemian]

I assume the 4:6 breathing ratio comes from the same source as HRV breathing. Both are great techniques

[@jayjaydee1556]

how do you exactly stop all movement of your upper hand? How to increase diaghpramtic breathing to get more of the stomach moving? I've seen a few videos but so far there hasnt been like a "trick" to make the air expand your lower hand more, except just breath in slowly?

[@chouchoumuse2729]

You should not stop all movements of your upper hand. The lungs are in the rib cage and that's where most of the air will go when you inhale so there will be movement on the chest. There is this myth that all the air needs to go down, the belly needs to stick out, and the chest needs to remain immobile. What we want to avoid is shallow breathing where only the upper chest expands and the shoulders go up. When we do deep, relaxed breathing and allow the diaphragm to move down as we inhale (its natural movement), it allows the rib cage to expand to the sides and the back. Yes, the belly will come out a bit as a consequence of the diaphragm moving down, but the entire torso will expand with each inhale, albeit in a relaxed way. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4ilnIedocSVrZY&ab_channel=ChaplinPerformance

[@julianselvers1450]

[@chachachaudhary2045]

Michael s This is more of a change in the way breathe, so the ‘frequency’ is always. It will become natural in some time, keep practicing for calmer and healthier you

[@carah4541]

I would recommend practicing 2x a day to start and then ongoing as needed once you have mastered it! I don't know anyone who can breathe this way all day long. I think of it as a technique that you can draw upon once you have mastered it.

[@marumisu9560]

I get palpitations at night at I noticed that I do breathe heavily through my chest before they start happening.

[@begreatbegreat9760]

How many time it should we do?

[@ribusgan]

My gym - the best in the city - and Personal Trainer there - a very competent and qualified young sportswoman - had me started with diaphragmatic (belly) breathing. However, my PT soon told me that, I should just have core and diaphragm activation and do rib cage expansion breathing. Part of this comes from my protruded (not out of local standard deviation, as I am fairly active) belly of a 55-year-old Indian. I am a bit confused about which one is good for me.

And there are breathing techniques that share certain resemblance to the anime, such s Breath of Fire, of Breath of the Ocean, but in the end it gives a lot more benefits you'd actually think.

[@chrisakins692]

The specific time of each breath is not as important as long as its slow and comfortable. As you practice this regularly you will probably start breathing longer and deeper.

[@LanaArete]

But why are we expanding belly when air needs to fill the lungs- it doesn’t go to belly? Diaphragm is not in the belly. Genuine question.

[@gmansshadow]

Half of my diaphragm, on the right, is paralyzed as well as COPD from 33 years of smoking, I quit 13 years ago. When abdominal breathing I get short of breath (feeling of suffocation) as air gets trapped especially during yoga and other meditative processes such as mindfulness and reiki.

Why can't I breathe with my diaphragm unless I'm doing diaphragmatic exercises. I've been short of breath for months. I've been to so many doctors. No answers

[@hobi1kenobi112]

It takes practice and dedication and it's hard to do at first because we learn to chest breath over time. Reversing that is difficult but can be done with routine and patience. If you do it for a few minutes when you sit down in the evening or before bed that can be your routine. You can write a note to remind yourself to do it at a certain time of day. That helped me to fall into a routine with it. I do it all the time now, even when walking (which was the hardest thing) but it comes naturally the more you practice and strengthen your diaphragm. Eventally your brain takes over and does it on autopilot. Just build up gradually at your own pace. Good luck.

Nothing. Your stomach is just loosening up. With more practice you should get used to the weird feeling.

[@otlonii8426]

Same!! Lol whenever I try breathing through my stomach it starts rumbling and like kinda starts to hurt. Does this mean I’m doing it wrong?

[@thehumanpractice2985]

@@otlonii8426 You might be doing it wrong, visualizing the breath in your stomach and actually pushing the tummy outwards. What you want to do is actually push the stomach down your torso, making space for your lungs. It might sound like it smashes it but actually it's a soft massage with might help with digestion in general. This is done expanding the diaphragma. You might think of your body as a jar and is being filled with water. Just start by taking 10 natural breaths, counting out loud, and analyzing your breath while at it. Just fous and don't alter your breath, and do it 10 times. Then start "pouring water", inhaling, slowly until its all the way til the bottom, in your lower torso.Your stomach might go outwards, but dont force it. On the exhale though, you might try to work your abs, keeping them a little bit under stress to control exhalation, and push your stomach all the way in, until you feel your lungs out of oxygen. But not completely! Feel the natural reactiong of your body for cues of inhalation and exhalation. Whilst running out of air when exhaling, remember to profoundly relax the whole body, and prepare for next inhalation: The first one might not be perfect, but practicing is free, don't be afraid to keep exercising your breathing.

@@arai6147 I can use my diaphram whether I mouth breath or use my nose, but i can't inhale as deep if i don't allow my chest to expand.

[@Xadanar]

@@Thaijler Are you sitting up straight? If you are hunched over your diaphragm expanding will cause your chest to rise.

[@jugjivan]

In that case check your posture.

[@arai6147]

Effervescent you have to rehabituate ur body to stand up straight with ur shoulders back and just start by exhaling to your max and then conciously stop your chest to catch the air and use ur diaphragm. One more way to get your abdomen to ease in with the breathing reset is to use a medicine ball or a basketball and lay on it from your belly area. It will hurt a lot but you'll get through it. Just let loose of any concious tension you feel by exhaling while you do it. You'll find more help on Elliot Hulse's channel on deep breathing, or as he likes to say, breathing into your balls. Hope this helps

[@e.b.4379]

What you're referring to is shallow breathing. This type of deep breathing is called diaphragmatic breathing, abdominal breathing, belly breathing, and paced respiration. When you breathe deeply, the air coming in through your nose fully fills your lungs, and the lower belly rises.For many of us, deep breathing seems unnatural. This interferes with deep breathing and gradually makes shallow "chest breathing" seem normal, which increases tension and anxiety. Shallow breathing limits the diaphragm's range of motion. The lowest part of the lungs doesn't get a full share of oxygenated air. That can make you feel short of breath and anxious. Deep abdominal breathing encourages full oxygen exchange - that is, the beneficial trade of incoming oxygen for outgoing carbon dioxide.
