The Fountain of Youth is right under your nose!

Your optimal, natural state consists of steady energy throughout the day, freedom from chronic pain, a positive mood and outlook, freedom to breathe deeply and easily, awakening clear-headed and refreshed, a clear mind, good memory and strong vocal expression. All of these are dependent upon the way we breathe, not just random chance.

"Breathing is the key that unlocks the whole catalog of advanced biological function and development. Is it any wonder that it is so central to every aspect of health? Breathing is the first place, not the last, one should look when fatigue, disease, or other evidence of disordered energy presents itself." ~ Sheldon Saul Hendler, MD, PhD., Oxygen Breakthrough

The quality of your respiration is the single most important factor for graceful aging, health, and longevity. Yet this is the last place most of us look for answers when faced with health challenges. Only a minute fraction of medical doctors are aware that anything can be done - never mind what - to improve breathing. Is it any wonder we are facing a national health crisis?

"Cancer is a condition within the body where the oxidation has become so depleted that the body cells have degenerated beyond physiological control. Similarly, the true cause of allergy is lowered oxidation process within the body, causing the affected individual to be sensitive to foreign substances entering the body. Only when the oxidation mechanism is restored to its original high state of efficiency can the sensitivity be eliminated." ~ Dr. Wendell Hendricks, Hendricks Research Foundation

According to the famous 30-year Framingham Heart Study, Lung volume (FEV1) is the primary marker for how long you will live. This is due to the fact that heart attacks, cancer, strokes, pneumonia, asthma, speech problems, and almost every disease known to mankind is affected by how well you breathe. However breathing cannot be patented, so funds for research and education are scarce.

"The relationship between breathing and blood pressure has been known and understood for a long time. It boils down to this: Elevated blood pressure accompanies those bodily states where rapid shallow breathing prevails. By altering breathing to a slow diaphragmatic mode, blood pressure decreases." ~ Robert Fried, PhD, The Breath Connection

The Framingham study further showed that the average person reaches peak respiratory function and lung capacity in their mid-20's. Then they begin to lose respiratory capacity - between 9% and 27% for every decade of life! In other words, unless you take action to maintain or improve your breathing capacity, it will decline, and with it your general health, your appearance, your life-expectancy, and your emotional and spiritual well-being.

"Jack Shield, MD, a Lymphologist from Santa Barbara, CA, studied the effects of breathing on the lymphatic system. Using cameras inside the body, he found that deep diaphragmatic breathing stimulated the cleansing of the lymph system by creating a vacuum effect, which sucked the lymph through the bloodstream. This increased the rate of toxic elimination by as much as 15 times the normal pace." ~ Excerpt from "Lymph, Lymph Glands, and Homeostasis" 25 No. 4, Dec 92, Pg.147-153

Of course, breathing also affects how gracefully our skin ages, as abundant oxygen and efficient waste-removal are critical for healthy skin cells. Deep breathing improves digestion as well as other internal organ function, as the movement of the diaphragm "massages" all abdominal organs. Not sure if you even want to live to a ripe old age? You really need a breathing session! You could be living a long life and loving it! Click here to contact us!
