Breath is life.	Breathing defined	Mike White, The Optimal Breathing Coach Executive Director	Dream big, aim high, find peace.

Basic breathing development begins here.

Consider this:

• Science has proven that cancer is anaerobic - it does not survive in high levels of oxygen.
• Shortness of breath and heart disease are directly linked - the heart goes into spasm when it is deprived of oxygen.
• Studies have shown that there is a high correlation between high blood pressure and poor breathing.
• Most emotional issues, including anxiety and depression, result from the nervous system being out of balance.  Breathing drives the nervous system.
• Optimal Breathing helps to promote weight loss.  Oxygen burns fat and calories.
• Breathing well is the key to sleeping well and waking up feeling rested.
• Breathing provides 99% of your energy.  Without energy, nothing works.
• Virtually every health condition and human activity is improved with Optimal Breathing.

Clinical studies prove that oxygen, wellness, and life-span are totally dependent on proper breathing.  Lung volume is a primary marker for how long you will live. 

Breathing supplies over 99% of your entire oxygen and energy supply. Poor breathing causes or worsens chronic maladies such as asthma, allergies, anxiety, fatigue, depression, headaches, heart conditions, high blood pressure, sleep loss, obesity, harmful stress, poor mental clarity plus hundreds of other lesser known but equally harmful conditions. ALL diseases are caused or worsened by poor breathing.

The average person reaches peak respiratory function and lung capacity in their mid 20's. Then they begin to lose respiratory capacity: between 10% and 27% for every decade of life!  So, unless you are doing something to maintain or improve your breathing capacity, it will decline, and with it, your general health, your life expectancy, and for that matter, your spirit as well. 

Optimal breathing gets you more vitality and better quality of life. We also address food, exercise, internal cleansing, attitude, and environment but breathing is for many the most important part of getting and staying healthy. Begin with breathing. Better breathing is possible for anyone. Develop your breathing now.

"Breathing is the FIRST place not the LAST place one should investigate when any disordered energy presents itself."
Sheldon Saul Hendler, MD Ph.D., The Oxygen Breakthrough

Breathing fundamentals are critical.
Just because one particular breathing exercise or development technique feels good does not mean it is the best choice. Many feel good at the outset of a certain exercise but that is largely because so many breathe so poorly that any progress feels significant, and it may well be. But each technique or exercise must be based in solid breathing fundamentals otherwise they can work against each other and cause future breathing development problems. Like a rocket ship even slightly off course, as the days and weeks pass, you will travel further and further away from your goal of a long, healthy, vibrant life.  Knowing the fundamentals helps you stay on course. Here is an example of being way off course - Superman Syndrome.  Here is another.

What others are saying.
Hi Mike,

I’ve been searching for information on better breathing for a long-time including taking yoga classes for many years, reading books on pranayama and breathing workshops.  I’ve gotten your program and have been going through it recently and it is the best I’ve ever seen.  I was feeling exhausted this morning and no amount of rest helped.  I did some of your breathing exercises and felt energized. 

I’ve been a chronic poor breather my whole life.  One item that contributed was allergies, I was always so stuffed up that I couldn’t breathe.  Doing liver and gallbladder cleanses cleared this up remarkably and I am now able to breathe normally.

I believe that breathing is a real key for me and that you have put together a very effective program.  For example, now when I do yoga classes, breathing in the postures is not such a mystery as before.  I was doing some Qi Gong exercises this morning and it felt like it was really working.  I believe that what you teach are the fundamentals of breathing that are both powerful in themselves and can make other breathing practices more effective. 

I’d like to learn more about Optimal Breathing.  I live in the L.A. area and was wondering if you are ever going to be in the area, or have some breathing coaches here?  Am also interested in attending some of your training sessions.  I would be appreciative if you could send me some information. Thx, Dave
  
What inspired you to recommend this site?
From Mano: The information is very informative that strikes a caution regarding bad breathing. It reminds one of the basic rule, "prevention is better than cure".

From Justin S: I am inspired by new ideas and new concepts - I believe that breathing right is one of the most important things in staying healthy - your web site is filled with important and logical information...... it makes perfect sense on what your saying about breathing properly-a lot of people (including myself) are starting to look for answers in a non traditional way. I always believe that the best way is the simplest, straightforward approach, the way that makes the most sense - just breathing right.
