OMG people, this is a TECHNIQUE! It’s used by therapists and they teach this TECHNIQUE to clients with anxiety disorders, and PTSD. It can be used to manage pain or to cope with difficult feelings, stress, and irritating situations such as reading RUclips comments, too. Your brain takes care of your breathing rhythm and does it without our conscious knowledge. Diaphragmatic breathing is done with your conscious effort and it signals to the more reptilian part of our brain that it is safe to proceed and it helps the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems reset and find homeostasis. It helps to correct the oxygen balance and carbon dioxide levels that have turned your blood alkaline back to a balanced pH and a sense of well being. It tells your body to turn off the fight or flight response.
Natalie McBroom ...Great and sensible comments...having said that, Natalie, I was intrigued by your last comment... something about your blood becoming alkaline during a fight, flight , freeze response...what evidence can you link me up with that supports your statement? Please don’t misunderstand me...I’m not saying that you’re wrong. but maybe simply incorrect. 🙏✌️
@@aaronfarkas6890 I see you didn't get an answer. So I'll try. I don't have an address for you, with what you asked, but you could find one with a small search on stress and cortisol. An anxiety attack causes stress, stress causes cortisol. Cortisol makes us fat, fat causes inflammation and inflammation is acidic. This is just how i think about it I'm just learning because I just started to get fat 😨😱. Hope you got an answer. Cheers ☺️
Baby Bunny, Ha ha, I didn't get the reptilian part lol. Some one might come and explain that. I lission to most you tube on fast forward and only slow down if something catches my attention. There is just not enough time to give my full attention. Your replay is kind of like getting caught with my pants down. LOL 😜🤣 You said it right reptilian what! I think I heard that these extraterrestrial beings lizard people are responsible for the human race or interbread with our ancestors. Something like that. That is part of the reason I lesion on FF take what I want and try to remember to run (if it is true or scarier) if I have to. 😉
With shallow breathing your co2 and 02 levels are out of whack which makes your blood more acidic ( you missread what she wrote) and diaphragmic breathing corrects those levels and brings your plod ph back to around 7,35 / 7,45 so back to more alkanine state. -With reptilian brain, she probably just mean primal brain, part of our brain that is not modernized but wild. which with shalow breathing makes us stressed and out primal brain think we are not safe, even if our stressors are just job related or bad traffic to the way home, your primal brain does not understand that that does not represents any danger to us, it just acts as if it is dangerous to us so it turns off most of the functions but what is needed for survival. - deep breathing helps us because while deep inhalation sar's ( slow adapting stretch receptors, with help of vagus nerve) slow down sympatetic nervous system ( gas function) and while exhalation it encourages parasympatetic nervous system ( break, relax function). that does not stop sympatetic system but brings them in the right balance. away from always being stressed to being more grounded so you are not always under influence of cortisol as was already said. Thats why it is beneficial to have exhalation window longer than inhalation window, with short break between exhalation and new inhalation.
the school system is a complete scam, you are not being prepared to face your life, but you are being prepared to work for the system, the whole system is a scam... do you know who created this whole slave system? it were the zionists/bilderberger/free masons/satanists or how ever you wanna call them...
Sometimes you always have done it a wrong way, such as when you are fear or nervous, under these circumstances realize the problem , and do it a correct way can help you relax and be peaceful
Very well presented, thanks! I’ve done other diaphragm techniques including the Wim Hof method and also by using the BreatheEasy Lung Exerciser, especially for inhalation therapy. In fact, my childhood asthma is finally gone.
i realized that when i was a kid i was probably a diaphragmatic breather but as i grew up i became more conscious of my looks and shifted towards chest breathing to make me look more manly
The Stress we have been put through in daily live has made us Tense,and thus we have forgotten the natural way of breathing,if you were to observe little babies and toddlers,they breath using their diaphragm no problem. This videos helps alot,and this way of breathing definitely help to lower Stress,Anxiety and Any bodily tension.
Dear Jivan, I teach music and i see this video is good to explain for singing. I want to request you for allowing me to share this video with my students. Thanks
70% of the comments: yeah I’m here to help my singing 20%: omg I’ve been breathing wrong the WHOLE TIME AHHSHAJAJAHJ 10%: I’m here to be like my IDOL TANJIRO UGH KING
hmm, I'm wondering if the the emphasis on expanding the belly has to do with making more room for the lungs to take in air, since the diaphragm squished the organs down when inhaling.
Thanks for the video! Quick question: I suffer from REALLY bad panic attacks so I'm curious how fast would this technique take to stop or reverse a panic attack? Thank you!
so many of these breathing videos advocate breathing out through the mouth.If you do that you will get worse panic /anxiety because you lose CO2 faster through the mouth.CO2 is a calmer of the nervous system.People with panic attacks traditionally breathed into a paper bag to calm down.This would restore CO2 level as you would breath it back in.So sad that these videos don't teach people this.Exercise raises CO2 as long as you nose breathe while exercising.CO2 is also a relaxant of smooth muscle in the body which makes it easier to switch to diaphragmatic breathing.
I had panic attacks when I was trying to pick up girls I liked. Then I started doing Wim Hof Method, about 14 days (only breathing and cold showers) and after that I picked up beautiful girl in bus and we had a date. I was great succes for me, because before breathing, I was totaly useless around girls.
@@wilfriedvomacka1783 So great to hear. I naturally would use this breathing in any social setting and helps present moment so can see how this would really help in these situations for ppl.
I told the doctor I had trouble breathing while doing a variety of tasks. She sent me to a pulmonologist. Hmm, do you have air in your lungs? Yes. Okay, sleep apnea test. Oh, you have moderate sleep apnea. CPAP time. Took that back the next day. Doctor (PCP) suggested chair yoga. 🤣 i went to a holistic chiropractor. Okay, my spine is not perfect. I get a bunch of various vibrators on my back. No help. I told my PCP several times where my breathing issues are coming from. So, i had to Google for myself the symptoms of my diaphragm vs breathing. BINGO. Now, i need to get on the bandwagon of learning to breath using my diaphragm. I know how to use my diaphragm to stop hiccups. So lets see how this helps. 🙏
So if my belly moves and my chest stays calm i'm ok,i can do this exercise instantly while laying down it't not that hard atleast for me standing up is hard tho!
Il capo di tutti capi yes!! thank you i thought i was the only one): feels like i’m suffocating a bit when i’m doing this standing and i get frustrated and i feel my heartbeat turn irregular
Hello, I noticed on many occasions that when I have flu or pollen allergy which causes me to sneeze a lot, surprisingly I stutter way less and I am thinking maybe it's because my lungs try to inhale more air. Did anyone notice that?
you might be over breathing, which means building up CO2 in your system so it with holds O2.... possibly need to adjust length of inhale and exhale to re set it....but a good technique of belly breathing won't make you dizzy :)
Slow down. You are blowing off too much carbon dioxide (an acid), raising your blood pH. That rise in pH upsets the ionic balance in your nervous system leading to dizzyness.
I have a question when we breath through lungs oxygen is easily dissolved in blood ✔️and what about "belly" breathing and how oxygen dissolved in blood through belly??
This is a pretty good account, except why breathe out through the mouth? Exhale through the nose will be slower and allow more time for gaseous exchange!
50potatoes gaming I can only feel the top of my belly moving while I breathe is that still okay? Please answer im desperate i wanna hit aria from the queen of the night
Well that might just mean you need to work on your endurance lol. I was one of the fastest runners in my unit for the longest time, but this definietly helped. I'm slow now.
I have tried to breathe by my belly while moving, running, ... But i still cant get more oxygen than breathing by your chest. :/ This is hard. Im wondering if i do it wrong.

i know it’s been two years since you write this but i’ve a ‘prescription’ of breathing to help with my undiagnosed regurgitating disorder, it’s supposed to help so worth a try,
It’s only done wrong when you’re thinking about doing it. You can do it properly consciously as well, but most people can’t. The breath should be natural, your subconscious should take care of that easily. Just don’t think about it lol. But of course now you’re thinking about it.
Correct breathing is not as simple as making your belly rise and fall. If you're sitting, you are limiting the diaphragm to expand, creating short shallow breathing. If you're lying on your back, you're not training your core to fully brace, again, limiting the air. The proper way is to stand up on your feet, squeeze your abdominals and tighten your glutes. This lines up your spine on a straight line from neck to pelvis, giving the diaphragm muscle full range to function. Furthermore, the proper breathing is not through your stomach. When you take in a breath of air, you should see your chest expand (that is where your lungs are located, after all). If your chest is tight, it makes this expansion difficult. That's how you end up with too much belly.Training your core to be braced is how you maintain a solid posture. When you run, or move in general, your core is braced, and the diaphragm is working to push the air up. There is research showing that "belly breathing" is short and triggers anxiety.

Maybe you breathe that way now, when you are relaxed, but do you breathe that way during the day?
Do you have to exhale through your mouth?
Hi, really like the video. Looking to use some sections of it in video of my own for non-profit educational purposes. Do you approve?
It should be live demonstration so that viewers can easily understand easily to do it without any doubt and fear. The speaker shall do it .
