TL;DR: Your breathing pattern might be linked to which facial muscles you’re using. Consider switching from the common “pattern 1” to a more balanced “pattern 2.”
Try this: Sniffle. If you pay attention, you’ll likely be engaging a default facial movement pattern (let’s call it pattern 1). However, a better approach (pattern 2) involves using the zygomaticus major muscle as the primary driver in facial movement.
In my opinion I think pattern 1 type breathing blocks the Maxilla to grow forward and gives more facial muscles on the center of the face. If successfully switched to pattern 2 type breathing, you will realize how easy it is to breathe.
To make this shift, place your thumbs inside your mouth, pressing gently against the muscle beneath your eyes. Your other fingers should rest on the same spot, but on the outside of your face. Holding this position, try to smile—imagine the corners of your lips drawing closer to your ears. While maintaining this “grab and smile” setup, sniffle and try to engage the muscle between your eyebrows.
Over time, this method can help retrain your facial muscles, potentially improving not just your facial structure, but also how you breathe. Of course you know, always mew while doing all these.
