Why Breathe Better?

Optimal Breathing can become a wonderful tool, helping you to relax and reduce stress, improve your skin tone, sleep better, as well as losing inches and weight.

RELEARNING TO BREATHE

Many have been breathing incorrectly for so long that they are not aware of how to breathe to receive easy and maximum benefits from each breath. Once you re-learn how to breathe correctly you can use the breath when it is most needed during stress. Many of you are aware that you normally take shallow, minimal breaths, just barely enough to survive. When you learn to breathe correctly you will find that you are feeding every cell in your body the fuel it needs most not only to survive, but to flourish as well. By saturating your body with oxygen you are giving it what it needs to operate at it's maximum potential.

THINKING

We are each born with billions of brain cells, and when we deprive them of oxygen, they will react as if starving and will not give you the performance they are capable of giving. Both active and passive aerobic breathing involves deeper breaths but those deeper breaths need to be primarily effortless. With effort you have an oxygen cost of breathing that negates many benefits and can actually create breathing blocks. This allows the oxygen to saturate the bloodstream and circulate to feed every cell in your body, muscles, brain, organs, skin, and at the same time is allowing your metabolism to speed up to burn fat and tone your muscles. Most people only use about twenty percent of their lung capacity. Have you taken our breathing tests yet?

NEGATIVE CONDITIONING

My theory is that we have been programmed to believe that nothing as simple and easy as breathing could possibly make that much of a difference. In all of my 25+ years as a breathing specialist, I have heard that time and time again.

WEIGHT LOSS

"How can you lose weight with just breathing?" Because of my training and experience it is the most logical thing I can think of. In simple terms, aerobic means to get enough oxygen into the bloodstream to convert to fuel to burn fat. We have again been programmed to believe that aerobic means running around a room and jumping up and down. What most people don't realize is that people who do this type of exercise have to do it consistently for about 20 minutes to put the body into an aerobic state. Unfortunately you are tearing down your knees and backs at the same time. Why the jumping and running? If you jump up and down, or run long enough, at least 20 minutes, you will breathe hard enough to get the oxygen flowing into your bloodstream. Now, what we do with #130 Better Breathing Exercise #2 is FOCUS TOTALLY ON THE BREATH. We concentrate the oxygen flow so that the body begins the aerobic process of flooding the bloodstream with oxygen in a few minutes so the results are dramatically improved. At the same time we have the option of flexing or stretching the muscles we wish to target for inch loss, or toning to draw the oxygen to that point like a magnet. The oxygen will rush to the point of stress to heal, thus toning and firming those muscles.

EMOTIONAL WELL BEING

Breathing correctly can bring on a state of elevated emotions. One reason for this is the endorphin high that runners speak of. It is the same high that you get when you do the #130 Better Breathing Exercise #2. You are releasing these endorphins into the brain and body/mind. I have seen some of the most remarkable changes in people from those suffering with severe panic attacks to others suffering from migraine headaches. It has been called life changing by many, and I am one of those who can personally attest to the powerful benefits that can accompany flooding your body with oxygen by doing just a few of the simple breathing exercises daily.

TOXIC POISONING

Tests have been done over and over again to determine how much of our brain cells we actually use. Other tests have been done to see how our vital organs function. It is surprising that we are all using a very limited portion of our potential. The majority of toxin elimination from your body should be through breathing. When we allow our bodies to accumulate toxins we are inviting illness and disease. Medical testing has proven again and again that the missing link in those with Cancer and other serious diseases is simply oxygen. So why is it that something that so neglected is so simple to do? Something that requires no other tool other than our own bodies? Other benefits of optimal aerobic breathing are the reduction of water retention and changes in your skin that may cause those who know you to tell you that you are looking more healthy or even "radiant." Much of this is due to more efficient elimination of toxins and waste.

BREATH HOLDING

Do you find yourself holding your breath? You may not think so now but reflect on it later and you may discover that you really DO hold your breath a lot more than you realized. If you can become aware of and redevelop your breathing by getting this introductory program.

Then incorporate your daily Optimal Breathing Exercises into your daily routine. Walking, standing in line, sitting at your computer, you will be impressed and amazed at the power you have right there within your own body. The power to breathe your way to a healthier and happier life. Now, place your thumbs in your kidneys and wrap your fingers around to your belly and gently squeeze inward. Now breathe a long slow deep breath that widens your grip. Do it again. That should feel better. If it did there is much more where that came from.
