Breathe Because You Are Alive
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 is one of the materials that make us live, much like food and water. 10% of our energy comes from food and water, and the remaining 90% comes from – you guessed it – oxygen.
Eastern beliefs have long known the benefits of getting enough oxygen, and today the western world is beginning to know it’s importance in therapies and practices. Many alternative healing advocates, including myself, emphasize it as the most important health tip we can ever give you.
There’s a good reason for that. We can survive without food for three weeks and without water for three days, but we 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 why – when you are breathing properly, it should fill the lungs to the very bottom, and as a result, our abdomen expands. When we breathe shallowly, which so many of us do, we expand our ribcages instead. Since the ribcage can only expand so much, we get less oxygen, and when we unconsciously do it over several years, can lead to possibly life-changing ailments.
Now I want you to think about your health. Can you think of something that you know has been there for a long time, such as hypertension or chronic migraine? Your physicians may give you certain diagnosis and cures, but without proper breathing, these sicknesses will not go away.
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,
