All living things breathe – us humans most of all. Breathing is so important and so intertwined with our bodily functions that nature hardwired our brains to control our breathing automatically.
Air, like food and water, is one of the substances that fuel life. Of course, it won’t keep you alive by itself, but think about this – only 10% of our energy comes from food and water. The remaining 90% comes from – you guessed it – oxygen.
Eastern philosophies have long known the benefits of getting enough oxygen, and today even medical professionals are acknowledging it in therapies and practices. Many alternative healing proponents, myself included, point to it as the single most important health tip we could give you.
There’s good reason for that. An average person can survive three weeks without food and three days without water, but can’t live through three minutes without oxygen.
Consequently, it’s the lack of oxygen that leaves the body susceptible to many serious diseases. Breathing oxygenates every cell in the body (yes, every single one), and if certain cells don’t get the oxygen they need, they’re more prone to develop afflictions.
The fact that so many of us don’t know how to breathe properly has contributed greatly to the rise of medical conditions such as migraines, vertigo, obesity, and hypertension. Several other factors also contribute to the lack of oxygen getting into our systems, such as pollution and stress, but none of these factors are as serious as not breathing properly.
Here’s a simple exercise. Place your hands on your lower abdomen and exhale all the air out of your lungs. Then take a deep, slow, natural breath through your nose. If you feel your midsection expand as your lungs take in air, then you’re probably breathing normally.
Here’s the thing – deep, proper breathing should fill the lungs to the very bottom, which causes our abdomens to expand. So many of us breathe shallowly, expanding our ribcages instead (which can only expand so much). We get less oxygen as a result and, done unconsciously over several years, can manifest in a potentially life-changing disease.
Now sit back and think of your health. Do you suffer from something that won’t go away anytime soon, such as hypertension or chronic migraines? Your doctors may imply certain causes and suggest certain remedies, but nothing will really make these disorders go away until you start learning to breathe properly.
Do yourself a favor and look through my list of programs on the upper-right side of this web page. If you find your disease listed there, then I personally guarantee that I can help you get out of your miserable lot in life – just as how I’ve done with hundreds of my customers.
I remain committed to help you breathe a little easier,
