Hello. I've been reading some online articles regarding diaphragmatic breathing. The articles said that this type of breathing is the natural way to breathe. We are born breathing this way.

I never new this. Somewhere along the way I, and perhaps many others, were somehow persuaded that chest breathing is what we should do.

From now on, diaphragmatic breathing is what I will be doing all of the time, not just when practicing O!.

Does anyone else do diaphragmatic breathing all of the time?

Hello Rich & welcome to the broad!

YES!! I am a diaphragmatic breather. I have been for a long time...years. Can't really remember when I started being one or if I have always been one. Maybe that is why I was able to catch on to "O" so quickly. But I do remember reading about it years ago before I found "O".

Hi Rich!

I am a diaphramatic breather now, but I wasn't before I started oxycise! Once I started this I could stop all my asthma medications.

How do you know you are doing it right?

Hello. Have you read the breathing tips under "Newsletters and announcements" at the top of the board? I think that will help you determine if you are doing it right.
