How interesting...Its' been said that the breath is the gateway to our emotions-the diaphragm is situated at our will center - it functions as a gateway from our solar plexus to our neck and sternum which when we cave those we trap our grief sadness etc . I don't have asthma but my Mother does ..I do struggle to be soothed by taking deep breaths. I am aware of holding my breath a lot....

Thanks for the link!
Kind Regards-
