RELAXING THE DIAPHRAGM

The diaphragm is a breathing muscle attached to the lower portion of the rib cage and anchored to the spine in the lumbar region. It is shaped like a dome and projects up against the heart and lungs (see fig. 6.1). Upon inhalation it pushes down against the abdomen, creating a vacuum in the chest, which allows air and chi to fill the lungs. If the diaphragm becomes tense or stiff—which it often does when we feel inhibited—it interferes with the ability of the lungs to breathe fully and deeply.
