The waist and that thoracolumbar aponeurosis that I was trying to get you guys to perceive should also have a corresponding distension.

That's right. But most people are missing this horizontal movement because of just the way life creates so much tension in our back body. low back pain is the most prevalent cause of pain worldwide. And I'm here to solve that problem. I wish.

So by going into the transversus abdominis with the cordius ball, by the way, if you've never gone into the gut to massage, I don't advise going into the gut to massage. I always advise a sideline position first. to attenuate your pain pressure response.

Because when that ball or when that object goes into the abdomen, we could go back to this muscle bracing response, your body will do anything to get to the next breath. And if your transversus abdominis is compromised by pressure, your brain is going to start to signal pain, and that's going to get you off of the object. It's going to be so uncomfortable.

So we have to figure out stealth ways to acclimate your body to this uncomfortable pressure that is threatening the diaphragm's movement. So there's a lot of paradoxes in here. So in Body by Breath, one of the things we do is we work with mindset. So we'll actually self-suggest things to ourselves in order to welcome this discomfort in a tolerable way. Like I'm a student of my breath, right?

So we might say something to ourselves like I'm a student of my breath or my breath is welcome here. Things like that can be really helpful because you want to be a student of this – relationship of the diaphragm to the transversus abdominis. And by the way, it's not just the transversus. There's other stuff there too. But visceral pain is also very real when you put an object right into your

Yeah, Andrew has a quote, never skip diaphragm day. I don't know if he made it up. I have it in my book. I think it's hilarious. Okay. The diaphragm is probably working. If you're alive...
