Abdominal Breathing or Diaphragmatic Breathing

If you want to relax, engage your abdomen when breathing. As soon as we start breathing into the abdomen, we give freedom to our diaphragm. As it descends during inhalation, it massages the internal organs and improves their function, as well as stimulates the vagus nerve, which directly affects relaxation. In this type of breathing, the abdomen should protrude not only forward but also slightly sideways. If the abdomen does not move during breathing, it indicates either that the abdominal muscles are in hypertonia or that the diaphragm itself is in spasm and less mobile.
