Relaxed Respiration
Respiration starts in the belly. Right through the middle of your body, in the chest, right beneath the lungs is the midriff, a strong muscle in the shape of a dome. The midriff moves downwards when you breathe in. To be able to do that, the stomach and intestines have to move down. So when you breathe in, your belly will expand and your stomach will move down. The midriff pushes downwards, creating a vacuum in your chest cavity. This vacuum forces the lungs, that don't have muscle tissue, to fill themselves with air. This takes place roughly in the lower part of the lung, which absorbs about 80% oxygen. The upper part, which absorbs about 20%, is only used when you are more active, are having stress or when you're in a crisis situation. The belly breathing makes us more active, more purposive and more precise. It makes us more balanced. A lot of people breathe wrong. They breathe with their chest. That means that they have to breathe a lot faster to get enough air.
