inbreaths
Lungs filling up
Inbreaths is the plural of inbreath, a somewhat literary or technical term for the act of breathing in or the air taken into the lungs during inhalation.
It appears most often in contexts involving meditation, yoga, or breath work, where practitioners pay close attention to the rhythm and quality of their breathing.
Focus on your inbreaths and let each one deepen naturally.
The term emphasizes the intake portion of respiration, contrasting with outbreaths or exhalations.
