Abdominal Breathing

Breathing from the diaphragm strongly enhances the mind/body connection and reduces tension cased by stress. When you breathe with your abdomen it is difficult to be tense at the same time. If you watch infants breathe, you will notice that they breathe from their diaphragm, as this is our natural breathing pattern. As we mature, however, we tend to adopt poor breathing patterns that can add to stressful reactions. This method of breathing has been shown to be the most effective in treating anxiety and promoting relaxation.
