Balloon Belly Inhale

Let's have some fun with diaphragmatic breathing, also known as belly breathing or abdominal breathing! This awesome technique involves giving your attention to the diaphragm, a cool muscle in your belly. Get ready to feel the magic as it encourages a complete exchange of oxygen, slows down your heartbeat, and even brings down or stabilizes your blood pressure. Here's how to dive into the world of diaphragmatic breathing:

Place one hand on your upper chest and the other on your belly, right below those rib cages. Now, take a slow and steady breath in through your nose, allowing the air to travel deeply towards your lower belly. Watch your belly hand rise while your chest hand stays still. It's like a belly balloon inflating!
