Yes, I’ve experienced that too. But if you tend to stutter on 3 words in an 8-word sentence, you’ll end up pausing and inhaling quite often — doesn’t that make the speech sound a bit unnatural? Has that been the case for you as well? Also, isn’t it really the thoughts that are to blame for the breath getting stuck in the first place? So if we work on changing our thought patterns and mental habits, wouldn’t that naturally lead to smoother, uninterrupted breathing?
