Are You a Shallow Breather?
Zi observes that most people are "shallow breathers" — they use only the narrow top portion of the lung surface for oxygen exchange. Our breath literally stops at the diaphragm — a band of tissue that Lewis calls our "spiritual muscle."

To find out if you're a shallow breather, try Zi's simple test: Put your palms against your lower abdomen and blow out all the air. Now, take a big breath. If your abdomen expands when you inhale and air seems to flow in deeply to the pit of your stomach, you're on the right track.

More typically, though, shallow breathers are likely to take a breath and pull in their stomach, which pushes the diaphragm up so the air has nowhere to go. What happens next is that the shoulders go up to make room. "All this effort for something, which should be a natural gift!" Zi exclaims.

ps

that was a stupid test

when you tell someone to take a big breath, they are gonna take a deep breath

the purpose of the test is to see if you are naturally a deep or shallow breather, but the test asks you to take a deep breath and see if it is a deep breath

Retarded.

Ok. I agree on that test being dumb. However, I am a shallow breather when not engaged in activity and even when winded, I really don't breathe super deep as I could.

I'd like to think it would become automatic @ some point.

it took me many many miles of running before I learned to breath deep and slow.

Now when i run, i dont get fatigued nor do I need much more then a minute or so to get my breathing under control after a run.

I intentionally don't breath deep all the time, because then you're one of those annoying fuckers who you can always hear breathing.

yeah i run a lot and notice myself breating fast and shallow. i try to breathe deep and slow but i always start to die.

also is the cure for side stiches a stronger lower back? i was told you develop them because your abs are too strong and back is too weak?
