A Breathing Series: Fix Reverse Breathing & Breathe Freely

In this practice, you will learn 1 of the fundamental practices to correct a reverse or 'paradoxical' breathing pattern. When you are breathing 'correctly', as you breathe in the diaphragm should descend and the belly may expand outwards & conversely, when you breathe out, the diaphragm ascends & the belly draws back in. In paradoxical breathing (which often stems from stress & trauma) the reverse happens, so as you breathe in, the diaphragm ascends & the belly sucks in & when you breathe out, the diaphragm descends & the belly expands out. This practice is taken from day 4 of my 10-day course here on Insight Timer 'The Breath - Heal Your Life From The Inside Out'.
