Diaphragmatic Breathing: Techniques and Instructions
Diaphragmatic Breathing: Techniques and Instructions
The ideal automatic breathing pattern at rest is very slow, light, and
mainly abdominal (diaphragmatic breathing). Such small diaphragmatic
breathing increases oxygenation of the human body. Yoga masters and a
few other exceptional people have only 3 small diaphragmatic breaths
per minute at rest (during unconscious breathing). This corresponds to
about 3 minutes for the body-oxygen test and over 8 minutes for
When we breathe more than the medical norm at rest (that is only 12
small diaphragmatic breaths per minute with about 500 ml for one
breath), it is called hyperventilation. If deep diaphragmatic breathing
causes CO2 losses, it is called "hyperventilation". Hyperventilation or
deep diaphragmatic breathing reduces oxygen delivery to all vital organs
in the human body. Note that sick people breathe about 2-3 times more
than the medical norm and suffer from low CO2 in the lungs and reduced
O2 levels in body cells (see links below). You may have a brief moment of
even additional hyperventilation (on top of what you have now) when
surprised.

(or abdomen). Try it. While leaving the belt in place for some minutes or
even hours, you can acquire diaphragmatic breathing and corresponding
sensations.
