During meditation, your breathing should be natural. There's no need to change it in any way. Unfortunately, many of us have developed poor breathing habits due to posture, tension, pain, or stress. The implications for poor breathing can contribute to panic attacks and negatively impact our physical health. With balanced and relaxed posture, your body will naturally breathe led by the diaphragm. Check out the American Lung Association link below for exercises to help you retrain your breathing:
