    MICHELANGELO LIGHT

    Diaphragmatic  or  abdominal  breathing

    The  diaphragm  separates  the  lungs  from  the  abdominal cavity.  In  normal  breathing  it  hardly  moves,  but  during  deep breathing  it  extends  downward  into  the  abdomen  on inhalation  and  upward  on  exhalation,  promoting  the  most efficient  type  of  breathing.  Less  effort  is  expended  in  diaphragmatic  breathing  to  obtain  the  same  quantity  of  air. Infants  and  small  children  use  their  diaphragms  exclusively for  breathing.  Chest  breathing  occurs  only  later  after  the bony  structure  of  the  chest  matures. Diaphragmatic  breathing  should  be  cultivated  during daily  life  until  it  becomes  a  spontaneous  habit.  Nowadays, however,  few  have  the  ability  to  breathe  with  the  abdomen due  to  tension,  unhealthy  habits,  poor  posture  and  tight clothing.  A  complete  revolution  in  the  state  of  physical  and mental  wellbeing  can  be  obtained  by  mastery  of this technique. Diaphragmatic  breathing  is  particularly  recommended  for those  suffering  from  chronic,  obstructive  lung  disease.  The simplest  way  to  relax  any  mental  tension  is  through  abdominal breathing,  as  it  promotes  parasympathetic  cardiovascular dominance.  Of  course,  during  strenuous  activities,  such  as heavy  physical  work  or  competitive  sport,  greater  lung capacity  is  required  to  absorb  more  oxygen,  and  then  fuller breathing  is  required.  However,  in  most  daily  situations, simple  abdominal  breathing  is  sufficient. In  abdominal  breathing  there  is  a  slight  movement  of  the lower  ribcage  due  to  abdominal  expansion,  but  this  should not  be  forced  by  the  ribcage  muscles.  The  motion  of  the diaphragm  massages  the  abdominal  organs  and  tones  the muscles  of  the  abdominal  wall,  thus  improving  digestive, metabolic  and  excretory  functions.
