Restricted breathing

[Pernani]

Anyone know any techniques to free up the stomach area for a full belly breathing ?

I find that a lot of times during the day my belly just clogs up and the breath becomes so shallow, kinda feels suffocating, so what I started to do recently is visualize energy rushing from my libs and head to my belly then shooting up the energy from my head to the sky, it kinda works but also leaves me with a damn headache

Personally my breathing improves drastically when I take either an ice bath, or cold shower because your’e forced to breathe better or freeze. look up Wim Hoff method. 

also when I went vegan space began freeing up in me so you can give that a try. 

When I eat a lot of food at once my breathing gets shitty so eat about a fist full of food at a time, which is your stomache size.

consciously breathing throughout the day and focusing on belly breathing and just using will power to breathe differently is my most effective method.

im trying to gain muscle so a vegan diet would be really tough and yeah cold showers definitely help but theyre not a on the spot solution.

do you know of any stretches or moves that can help ?

@Pernani 1.) Stretch those muscles to the point where your diaphragm expands.

2.) Foam Roll those muscles

3.) Lay on stomach and push your belly button into the ground.

4.) Shamanic Breathing.

5.) Learn yogic breathing (Nauli)

Bioenergetics helped me with this A LOT. Opens up the body permanently by releasing the emotional holding patterns.

This one can be tough in the beginning, but helps a lot.

look into a book called Oxygen Advantage

Breathe into Talons/Feet. Belly and Hip breathing are mediocre.

@Sahil Pandit @okulele I remember I used to do those bioenergetic stretches and foam rolling until one day I think I over did it and passed out face down hahahah, I may start doing them again
