And you can actually, an exercise I like to do or tell people to do is like, get like a little kettlebell at home or something that's not too heavy and put it on your stomach while you're lying on the floor and put your knees up and put your other hand on your chest.
I want you to breathe.
I want you to ask yourself, what raises?
Do your shoulders come up?
Does your chest come up when you take a deep breath?
Take a deep breath and see what comes up.
If you're breathing like this, if this is your deep breath, you're not really using your diaphragm.
What you want is you want to feel this come out, but not only do you wanna feel your belly come out and you wanna keep this down.
So you wanna breathe so that
This doesn't move, but you'll also wanna start feeling an expansion through your obliques, through your back.
You're gonna feel this 360 degree expansion of your rib cage and your muscles of breathing.
That's gonna allow you to take a deeper and calmer breath.
Being able to do this is gonna allow your resting heart rate to naturally come down.
It's gonna allow your nervous system to calm down too.
When you're doing tissue work, tendency is to grimace and you start to tense up.
relax Breathe into the diaphragm as you're doing your tissue work now You're gonna be able to find different areas because you're you're calmer your nervous system knows we're resting.
This is this is chill on fight-or-flight Let me do what I need to do.
Right?
So that's that's diaphragmatic breathing You're gonna say something.
Yes.
