#2I don't see any guide or any real description of the benefit of training your diaphragm (other than taking deep breaths by pushing your stomach out. But how much? How often?)

I’ve been training diaphagm breathing as part of martial arts training for over a decade. Breathing is deeper and calmer and more powerful.

Wait, what? People are taught how to breathe? Is this really a thing?

I train my diaphragm for singing, not really for any other benefits. But I think taking long, deep breaths is great for calming down and finding focus if you're stressed out.
Don't push your stomach out. Let the stomach be pushed out when you breathe in. There's a difference.
The simplest way (I think) to find a 'deep'/connected breath, is to breathe slowly all the way out, making a 's' sound, until there is no more air left. Then, hold for about 4 seconds. Now just relax and let the body breathe in on its own.
