So I‘d suggest looking into the Buteyko Method. (I read „close your mouth“ by Patrick McKeown). Improving your breathing is never a bad choice.

Having it harder to breathe on your back is pretty common, I had it too.

You might not have asthma but I think learning the skill of breathing can still be beneficial for everyone, especially if you can‘t breathe lying down.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

I recently started working on my breathing, because my asthma was getting extremely severe. Because of this, I learned about the Buteyko Method, which has now, after 4 weeks, helped me be almost completely symptomless and changed my life as a whole. As a side effect, I can now also breathe while lying down on my back.
