Health Benefits Attributable to Better Breathing
A Partial List of Benefits

Taken from the Secrets of Optimal Breathing manual.

By optimizing one's breathing and creating the correct internal and energetic balance, physiological changes occur through increased oxygenation, breathing coordination and nervous system balance. This affects the entire human organism and its billions of functions, including all of the subtle energy systems such as meridians, chakras and aura(s).

Our clients and the clients of colleagues using similar breathing specialty techniques have collectively helped several hundred thousand people throughout the world over the last 30 years. Most of them had one or two other diagnosed conditions that were improved simultaneously. For example, as the list of asthmatics treated with the breathing specialist techniques grows, the practitioners find that more and more people are reporting not only a reduction in their asthma symptoms, but also a reduction in symptoms and ailments with other diagnosed conditions.

Even people with no health concerns who have never been sick a day in their life are learning that by developing Optimal Breathing, they can look better, feel more rested, get more done and have more fun, and live a lot longer.

Not necessarily in order of priority.

· THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

Gives you more energy.  (chi, life force, prana, kundalini, elan vital, pneuma.) 

Reduces mental and physical fatigue.

Reduces chest pains due to tight muscles, thus the tension causing anxiety of "heart attack potential" is reduced.

Aids in relief of many long term respiratory difficulties such as asthma and bronchitis.

Reduces need for artificial stimulants and many harmful prescription drugs.

Opens up the chest to make breathing easier and fuller which facilitates strengthening of the life force, emotional stability and mental clarity to feel more energetic, strengthen coping skills, increased positive energy, and strengthened sense of self.

Helps eliminate waste matter.

· CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

Improves blood circulation and relieves congestion.

Increases supply of oxygen and nutrients to cells throughout the body. Major organs such as brain, and eyes need copious oxygen.

Eases the strain on the heart by increasing oxygen to the heart.

Helps increase the supply of blood and nutrients to muscle blood and bones.

· THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

Better breathing can calm or stimulate the nervous system, balance or unbalance brain hemispheres, depending on the technique.

Better breathing opens up and balances subtle energy systems affecting all the body.

· THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

Diaphragmatic action acts as a pump to massage the internal organs, aiding their *function.  "Rest, digest, and heal."

· THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

Helps push the movement of lymph throughout the body which helps eliminate toxic waste and strengthen the immune system.

· THE URINARY SYSTEM

Shallow breathing puts stress on other organs of elimination.

Better breathing can reduce edema (swelling of the body) by eliminating fluids through the breath.

*Massaging the kidneys for instance can cleanse the blood and tonify the entire system.

· THE SKIN

Given a complex carbohydrate diet, toxic CO2 waste is eliminated more directly through breath.

Wrinkles can be lessened due to improved circulation and blood oxygen flow.

Radiant skin is observable and more pleasing to look at.

· BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT

Relax deeper.

Look more rested.

Feel nurtured and accepted.

Become more connected with one’s deepest core sense of self.

Have more fun.

Open up more to more kindness and being loved.

· MOVEMENT

Relaxes muscle spasm and relieves tension.

Releases and reduces muscular tension that eventually may cause structural problems.

Helps increase flexibility and strength of joints; when you breathe easier you move easier.

Facilitates stretching of connective tissue, which prevents formation of adhesions and reduces the danger of fibrosis (stringy tissues). 

It invites internal sensing of optimal posturing that maintains body balance which supports ease of breathing including CO2 elimination.

Helps to prevent muscle adhesions and fibrosity. 

Can partially compensate for lack of exercise and inactivity due to habit, illness, or injury.

Able to recover faster from stress and exertion.

From Candace Pert
The peptide-respiratory link is well documented: Virtually any peptide found anywhere else can be found in the respiratory center. This peptide substrate may provide the scientific rationale for the powerful healing effects of consciously controlled breath patterns.

Mind doesn't dominate body; it becomes body. Body and mind are one. I see the process of communication we have demonstrated, the flow of information throughout the whole organism, as evidence that the body is the actual outward manifestation, in physical space of the mind. Bodymind. At this molecular level there really was no distinction between the mind and the body.
Molecules of Emotion, Candace Pert

From Dr. Erik Peper
Dr. Erik Peper of San Francisco State College has discovered that the most effective way for people to learn to breathe better is through modeling of the action by a skilled therapist or coach (11). In the foreword (8), Chandra Patel, M.D. of the University College London states that "the two components subjects feel they have benefited from most, and that they are willing to continue using, are awareness of stress and breathing exercises. Human nature makes it unlikely that most people, except those strongly motivated, will comply with a time consuming practice in the long term."
