shallow breath


Can’t breathe deep, because of distortion or stiffness of the body?

As you breathing deeply?

The muscle called the diaphragm moves by breathing and the deeper the breathing the better. As you breathe, the diaphragm moves up and down and massages liver and stomach, making them both work better.

If breathing becomes light, the natural benefits of the natural work of the diaphragm decreases. But breathing is not always easy to do when unconsciousness or when breathing is affected by the seasons. In these times, breathing can become shallow, which in turn can result in the person becoming out of condition.

Do you know … “an internal organ’s fatigue causes a distortion to the whole of the body?" A pain in one part of the body can often be felt throughout the body. Similarly, it is not unusual for a pain in one part of the body to be relieved by improving the body as a whole.

Take posture for example. Maintaining good posture is primarily focused on keeping the body’s skeletal structure properly aligned, which in turn benefits the functioning of most muscles and internal organs. This includes the ability to take deep breaths. On the contrary, bad posture may put a burden on the entire body, including breathing. Better posture can result in better breathing, which in turn benefits the rest of the body.

皆さんは、呼吸を深くされていますか?

本来は深い呼吸により横隔膜という筋肉が上下にしっかり動き、肝臓や胃をマッサージしてくれています。深い呼吸は内蔵にしっかりと血液が届け、働きをよくするのです。

呼吸が浅くなるとこの自然な働きが低下してしまいますが、季節により無意識でも呼吸がしづらく、浅くなってしまう時期があります。この時に体も不調になる方がいます。

さらに「内蔵の疲労はカラダの歪みを招く」事をご存知でしょうか?急に痛み出した部位は、内蔵をケアしたり温めるだけでも痛みが緩和することは珍しくありません。逆に悪い姿勢が内蔵に負担をかける事もあります。これを知ると、内蔵の機能に負担をかけないように大切に考えて頂けるのではないでしょうか?
