When we are born, we naturally breathe diaphragmatically, allowing for a full oxygen exchange. As we age, we lose touch with how to breathe. This causes us to hold onto stress and anxiety. Relearning and practicing proper breathing patterns will trigger the body's normal relaxation response, bringing us back to a state of rest and calm. Diaphragmatic breathing also maximizes the oxygen flowing in our bloodstream for reduction of stress and better health. In this episode, you will begin lying on your belly, then on your back, and finally seated, all while being guided to take deep, diaphragmatic breaths.
