Breathing is something very important to our vision. It is funny how not many people really know how to breathe properly! Breathing is something we don't really put much thought into but doing it properly is something that should be done at all times to help correct vision problems naturally.

So what exactly is the proper way to breathe? Take a few moments to concentrate on your breathing and notice the way your body moves as you inhale and exhale. Did your chest rise and fall with each breath? Well then.you have just noticed yourself breathing incorrectly!

The main idea is this-breathing should make the abdomen expand, not the chest! This is known as abdominal breathing and this is essentially the proper way to breathe!

To practice the abdominal breathing and to go back to the proper way to breathe, do this simple exercise a few minutes each day. All your will need is a flat surface to lie on-a firm mattress or a mat on the floor would be ideal, and a tiny pillow.

Lie flat on your back on the surface. Bring your knees up, bending them so your feet are flat on the surface of ...
... the mattress or mat. Then clutch the pillow behind your knees. Put your right hand on your chest area and your left hand on top of your abdomen.

Breathe deeply and slowly and try to notice the movement your body makes. Make sure that your abdomen is rising before your chest does. The rise and fall of your chest should not be so noticeable as compared to your abdomen.

Do this a few minutes daily and do not be frustrated if you really have to consciously change the manner by which you breathe if it is incorrectly. The purpose of the exercise is to instill the habit of breathing correctly. With some practice, the proper way of breathing will come naturally.

Your vision will benefit from this exercise and so will the rest of your body. So go ahead and breathe!
