Fabulous insight on how to breathe deeply and easily.

We don't have enough supply for everyone who needs us and we need your help to spread this DIY method so people don't need us in the first place. If you find the info below valuable, please share it with someone who matters to you. We track our success in referrals and yours mean the world to us.

Here is your step by step guide to enjoying the fullest, deepest breaths so you can enjoy a happier mental state and better digestion:

To breathe deeply and feel the breath through the pelvic floor, you can practice diaphragmatic or belly breathing combined with pelvic floor awareness. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Find a comfortable position: Sit or lie down in a relaxed position, ensuring your body is supported and your muscles are relaxed.

2. Relax your body: Take a few moments to release any tension in your muscles, particularly in your abdomen, pelvic floor, and pelvic area.

3. Place your hands: Gently rest your hands on your lower abdomen, just above your p***c bone. This will help you focus on the movement of your breath.

4. Inhale deeply: Breathe in slowly through your nose, allowing your breath to expand your belly. As you inhale, imagine filling your abdomen with air like a balloon, feeling it rise and expand against your hands.

5. Open the pelvic floor: As you exhale, gently relax your muscles so the diaphragm pulls toward the pelvic floor muscles. As the breath sinks there will be a sensation in the muscles of your pelvic floor. Allow full and effortless lower abdominal breathing. If you can hear your breath, then you are trying too hard. Lets the breathing itself relax you and observe it without trying to control it. It will naturally sink and massage your intestines and kidneys from the inside out.

6. Repeat and practice: Continue this deep breathing pattern, focusing on the expansion of your abdomen with each inhale and the gentle engagement and release of your pelvic floor with each exhale. Practice for several minutes, gradually increasing the duration as you become more comfortable.

It's important to note that if you have any specific pelvic floor concerns or conditions, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or pelvic floor therapist for personalized guidance and exercises.

Remember, practicing deep breathing and pelvic floor awareness can be beneficial for relaxation, stress reduction, and pelvic floor health, but it may take time and practice to fully develop the mind-body connection and feel the breath through the pelvic floor.

Please note that while deep breathing exercises can have positive effects on relaxation and overall well-being, it's always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and guidance, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.

The more you know, the less you need. Thank you for sharing this with someone you care about.
