One other thing that affects the health of your gut and disrupts absorption and elimination is stress. Diaphragm breathing can help with both gut health and lower stress levels.

Remember, diaphragm breathing acts as a natural pumping mechanism for your organs. Here is another technique for you to do to support your gut and spine, which is called crocodile breathing.

Crocodile Breathing Technique

Lie on your stomach with a pillow underneath it and place your forehead on your hands. Set your timer for five minutes and do the box breathing technique mentioned in the previous chapter. This technique allows the gut to be “pumped” and help create movement for the base of your skull and sacrum. The base of your skull and sacrum are the same shape: an upside-down triangle. When you’re breathing, breathe into your stomach, spine, and your kidneys – send your breath deep towards your sacrum and tailbone. Breathing is multi-dimensional – breathe into your rib cage too, allow your rib cage to expand laterally. Do this for five minutes. You can also do this right before you go to bed. Alternate between the breathing pattern lying on your back with knees bent, then lie on your stomach for crocodile box breathing. Three to five minutes each position. That would be the best ten minutes you can do for your back and entire body!

Happy gut equals a happy brain and a happy spine too!

Begin gradually, taking one day at a time, implementing the heal your gut tips every single day. Pain is an opportunity to create a change. Why not start with your second brain?
