The secret of direct lower breathing is that when you breathe in, you direct the air downward and thereby expand your abdomen, and when you breathe out, you contract it. Bottom breathing gives extra volume to the lungs for breathing and works the diaphragm; it easily massages the essential organs of the abdominal cavity.
Medical research shows that oriental breathing techniques based on belly breathing have a positive effect on the body. Breathing in the lower abdomen enhances your natural self-healing ability. Several serious diseases (oncology, diabetes, high blood pressure, mental ailments, liver, and kidney problems) are naturally cured due to stomach breathing. At the same time, the use of medicines is minimized as much as possible.

- When the entire volume is filled without tension, we exhale slowly and feel how the energy ball decreases and the stomach falls. This can be done by contracting the abdominal muscles with gentle force and by relaxing the diaphragm. The ball decreases in size become heavier and become denser. Delicately tighten the muscles of the perineum from the bottom up.
- Inhalation and exhalation must undoubtedly be slowed down, continuous, of the same length, and as quiet as possible. If you can make the breath unnoticeable, that is very good.
- We continue to breathe in this way for several minutes while trying to breathe naturally.
- Each time we imagine a ball expanding with inhalation and falling down with exhalation.
At first, we take at least three inhalations and three exhalations. Purpose of the exercise: To change breathing habits so that Abdominal Breathing becomes a natural way of breathing. This will take some time. With practice, you will definitely achieve a positive result.
Benefits of Direct Lower Breathing
Performing lower breathing, the person inhales and, at the same time, relaxes and sucks in the chest, which lowers the diaphragm. Descending, she presses on the organs that are under her (these are the adrenal glands ) and pushes them down. This gives extra space for the lower region of the lungs to fill with air. The diaphragm, adrenal glands, and kidneys press on the abdominal muscles and force the muscles to bulge outward. When you exhale, the abdominal muscles are pulled inward and press on the organs and on the diaphragm. Therefore, such breathing is called intestinal.
Lower breathing gives additional volume to the lungs for breathing and works the diaphragm, it gently massages the abdominal organs.When a child is born, he begins to breathe with his lungs. The lungs are rather weak at first. The abdomen helps the lungs to pull the diaphragm downward to fill the lower lungs with air. In early childhood, a person continues to breathe with the help of the abdomen. But over time, this ability is lost. Various factors act to change breathing habits, and people begin to breathe exclusively from the chest. And this leads to stagnation in the lower region of the lungs and the weakening of organs.
Chest breathing is energetically less efficient. In this case, more than 1/3 of the lungs are rarely filled with air. Therefore, direct lower breathing is essential for health, youth, and longevity.
