Diaphragmatic Versus Chest Breathing
What is our secret of deep Super Power Breathing? How can you draw air into the very base of your lungs? Not by merely sniffing it in through your nose nor by gasping it in through your mouth!

Bragg Super Power Breathing Calms the Nervous System
The solar plexus is the powerhouse of the body. It’s a network of nerves and ganglia (independent groups of nerve cells) which controls every important vital organ in the abdominal cavity and is located in the very center of the diaphragm.
The more stimulation you give your diaphragm, the more circulation your solar plexus (often called the gut) receives. This increases the amount of nerve energy that is then available to your vital organs. The extremely important pneumogastric nerve (pneuma – lungs; gastro – stomach) passes through the diaphragm and also benefits from this diaphragmatic action.
