The diaphragmatic breathing technique is often used to manage stress and help us regulate our breathing since it often becomes faster when we are stressed. Diaphragmatic breathing is intended to help you use the diaphragm correctly while breathing.
The diaphragmatic breathing technique
Note: If you live with a medical condition, consult with your doctor prior to beginning any type of relaxation exercise.
Lie on your back on a flat surface or in bed, with your knees bent and your head supported. You can put a pillow under your knees to support your legs. Place one hand on your upper chest and the other hand just below your rib cage. This will allow you to feel your diaphragm move as you breathe.
Breathe in slowly through your nose so that your stomach moves out against your hand. The hand on your chest should remain as still as possible.
Tighten your stomach muscles, letting them fall inward as you exhale. The hand on your chest must remain as still as possible.
Repeat at least 10 times.
