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. Follow me here on InsightTimer for all updates.

Transcript

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.

Breathing into your belly helps you to relax.

You become more grounded.

So,

Breathe in through your nose and draw your breath all the way down to your belly.

Don't pause and exhale slowly through your mouth.

All the way down to your belly.

Deep,

Deep breaths into your nose,

All the way down to your belly and out through your mouth.

Out through your mouth.

Good.

Another deep breath into your belly through your nose.

Feel how your belly pushes out with every inhale.

Wonderful.

Keep on breathing deep into your belly through your nose.

Keep on breathing like this without any pause in between the exhale and the next inhale.

Feel your belly softly opening with every inhale.

And feel how you're letting go with every exhale.

Feel your belly softly opening with every inhale.

And feel how you're letting go with every exhale.

Feel your belly softly opening with every inhale.

And feel how you're letting go with every exhale.

Slowly come back to your natural breath.

You can move your feet and your fingers when you're ready.

Open your eyes.

Welcome back.

You might feel a little dizzy.

Take your time getting up and keep the awareness of belly breathing throughout the day.
