4. Shoulder breathing.

Also known as clavicle breathing, shoulder breathing can be understood as the last step in the expansion of the chest cavity, which is a continuation of chest breathing. Some Qing Xun sayings refer to abdominal breathing as lower lobe respiration, thoracic respiration as middle lobe respiration, and shoulder respiration as upper lobe respiration. It can be seen that shoulder breathing is mainly carried out by the upper lobe of the lungs.
