Frequently Asked Questions
常见问题
Why does my chest rise when I try belly breathing? 为什么我尝试腹式呼吸时胸部还是会上升？
Chest breathing is the default for most adults under stress. It takes a few days of practice before belly breathing starts to feel natural. Try lying down first — it is easier.
胸式呼吸是大多数压力下成年人的默认呼吸方式。需要练习几天后，腹式呼吸才会开始感觉自然。先尝试躺下练习——这样更容易。
Can children practice belly breathing? 孩子可以练习腹式呼吸吗？
Yes. Belly breathing is often taught to children as young as 3 using imagery like a balloon or a boat on waves to make it engaging and easy to learn.
可以。腹式呼吸通常教给3岁以上的儿童，使用气球或波浪上的小船等意象，使练习生动有趣且易于学习。
