08. Left Diaphragm Dome

Feeling and sensing your left diaphragm doming into its resting position is a simple technique that has positive and profound effects on your ability to resonate health and Be your true self. 

Sensing the support and lift of your left diaphragm, helps stabilize your postural system and allows you to regulate pressure and expansion more easily within all levels of your being. Your left abdominal muscles support the doming of your diaphragm into its rest position as you exhale.

A new way of feeling, being and expressing yourself may arise when simply sensing your left diaphragm being fully relaxed and domed in a variety of positions and activities throughout your day.

Diaphragm Flattens Down when you Inhale and Domes up when you Exhale

This naturally happens when you breath although due to the shift in our breathing and postural patterns overtime, this is no longer happening as often during your day or at all. Use this sensory technique to restore your postural alignment through optimizing your left respiratory diaphragm.

Instructions:

  1. Sit in a supported upright position. Notice the position of your left lower ribs along the front of your body. They may be flat or they may be flared out to a varying degree from mild to significant.
    • In general, the more flared out the lower ribs the flatter diaphragm position indicating a need for this technique and those connected to it.
  2. Exhale through pursed lips blowing out all of your air. Focus on feeling your left lower ribs fold down into your belly and your left abdominal muscles tighten. Practice the Diaphragmatic Breathing Part 1: The Exhale  technique to feel and sense your left ribs drop down as your diaphragm lifts up into a resting dome position inside your rib cage.  
    • Optional to utilize the taping from the Left Abdominal Sense. Apply the tape after you have fully exhaled through pursed lips, so your ribs have lowered down towards your stomach. 

Use this technique for ~20 -90 sec, 1-16x/day for the next 1-2 weeks. Sense your left diaphragm doming as often as possible and as needed *Unless otherwise directed.

    • Optionally, use your testing technique to determine your optimal frequency and duration to perform.
