Wim Hof saved me when I started to have severe breathing/attention span/brain fog and vasculitis like symptoms issues in late 2022. Helped me build myself up again. Though I tend to let it slide for a few weeks because I still lack self control and discipline in some areas, I still practice it, interchanging with anapanasati and cyclic sighing/double inhale techniques.

I still have pain in my lower rib cage from a cycling accident in 2022 when breathing in to deeply that makes breathing exercises more painful for me than most and a few joints per evening don't make it much better for my lung either. I still fall back to shallow breathing until I notice it and snap out of it.

Glad you discovered this.

I learned deep breathing in my voice lessons.

I didn't know, before then, how far down my lungs went, or how much air they could hold.

thanks for sharing 🙏🏼 I'm happy to read that it helped with your problems!

hope your rib is fine. is it misplaced?

yeah haha my daily breathing is also very shallow

wishing you lots of endurance on bringing these practices into your routine again 🤗

Doctors think it's all neurological but they're still clotshotting people, so fuck them with a pipe.

It's probably neuralgia, myofasccia related or a local inflammation being covered by a guarded posture. Need to tackle this regardless. Yoga, stretching, workouts and keeping busy does a lot but it's still hindering the breath work. 🫠

Can rule out micro texture because of an MRI.

Appreciate it! 🌞

fasccia is what I was thinking too,

maybe get some osteopath hands on you if you haven't already 🪄
