Breathwork: Circular Diaphragmatic Breathing

Circular Diaphragmatic Breathing, guided by Rosalie Somogyi, is a deep breathing technique that emphasizes the use of the diaphragm, the primary muscle responsible for respiration. By focusing on full inhalation and complete exhalation, this method promotes efficient oxygen exchange, supports relaxation, and aids in stress reduction. The "circular" nature refers to the seamless, continuous flow of breath, with each inhale transitioning smoothly into the exhale, and vice versa, resembling a circular motion. This technique is often employed in yoga, meditation, and vocal training to enhance mindfulness, improve lung capacity, and support overall well-being.

Circular Diaphragmatic Breathing For this exercise,

You may use a book which you can place on your belly to focus better on that region of your body.

Or just place your hands on your belly and feel it pushing out as you breathe in.

Bring yourself into a lying position and don't be distracted for the next minutes.

This practice is a constant flow of air executed slowly without stopping,

Like the movement of a swing.

You become more grounded.
