In a live demonstration, Umberto guides Montemagno and the audience through breathing as a tool for concentration and relaxation. Drawing on his freediving experience, he describes diaphragm movement, attention to the shoulders and slower exhalation. He adds visualization exercises intended to bring attention back to oneself. The session presents his practical approach rather than a clinical assessment of the physiological explanations offered.
Key points
- The demonstration separates breathing mechanics from breathing as a focus for attention.
- Umberto emphasizes relaxed shoulders and prolonged exhalation.
- Visualizing geometric shapes is used to explore concentration and management of distracting thoughts.
