Allow your ribs to hang from your pointing spine.
Holding your chest high, like a military posture, stiffens the ribs and impedes breathing. Instead, allow your pointing spine to support you so that your ribs can swing easily in response to your breath.
Take a moment to notice the difference between your pointing spine and your hanging ribs. Although your spine and ribs are attached to each other, they do very different things. Without trying to change your breathing, notice the gentle movement of your entire ribcage (back, front, and sides) as it responds to breath. Allowing for this gentle movement improves the ease and effectiveness of every breath. For more information, try this breathing investigation.
