B.5.2 The Anatomy of the Breath & Diaphragm
MODULE 2 – The Uplifted Soul • 12m
Covered in 5.2:
-The diaphragm separates the thoracic cavity (your heart) and the abdominal cavity (your organs)
-The diaphragm has attachments on the lumbar spine AND the psoas
-The superior side of the diaphragm attaches the to fascia of the heart (the pericardium) and the lungs (the two plura)
-The inferior side of the diaphragm attaches to the fascia of the abdominal organs (the peritoneal sac)
-As you breathe in, the diaphragm contracts, flattens toward the earth, and moves down, pulling on the heart and lungs and squishing the abdominal organs
-As you breathe out, the diaphragm relaxes, “dome-ing” back into a mushroom shape and hugging the abdominals organs
-The lungs are like sponges (not balloons); when unraveled they have the surface area of a tennis court
-Full explanation of the journey the breath takes through the nose, face, and lungs (and back out)
