Deeper Diaphragm Release:
By working these two aspects of the diaphragm you increase breathing effiency, decrease tension in the neck region (especially the sternocleidomastoid which are the two rope like muscles that come from behind the ear and attach to the sternum and collarbone), relax the diaphragm, regulate and deepen the breath, decrease body tension, purifies the back solar plexus and back throat chakras, and helps with the cultivation of a quiet mind.
Working these two aspects together has a releasing effect on the fascia of the diaphragm which expels physiological stress on the body and oppositional thinking in the mind
