How to Breathe Lightly, Fluidly and Deeply

When we chest breathe, this is associated with a fight or flight response. It's meant only to be in that state for short amounts of time. If we stay in the sympathetic chest breathing state for too long, we are cutting off other organs and a bunch of problems can happen because of that. So you want to breathe lightly, fluidly and deeply. This does not mean you have to just go for it every breath and push out your stomach. You should be breathing through your nose. Nasal breathing are deeper. These go to the lower lobes at the bottom of the lungs where we have the largest perfusion of blood. That's where oxygen exchange can happen much more efficiently.
