Breathing Technique – are you doing OK?
Learning the proper breathing technique is the start to a better health. So, let us start our journey by asking ourselves this question.
Is your breathing technique correct? (some people will think that I am crazy when I ask this question)
Let's check your breathing technique
So many people assume they do. So let’s try this simple test to see whether you know how to breathe effectively. You can do this breathing test while sitting or if you are one in a million people who surf the net while standing, you can also try it while standing - if that suits you.

Now, when you are ready, just take a deep breath, then let it out. Yes, do it now. Just inhale ... wait for a while ... then e-x-h-a--l--e. Good, you're done ! It's as simple as that. Now, I have a question for you: When you inhaled, which enlarged more, your chest or your tummy? Picture what just happened, or if you can't, take another deep breath. |
So, which enlarged more? If the answer is your chest, you are like most people and unfortunately, are doing it wrong.
My friend, let's see if proper breathing really matters
If you are doing it correctly, congratulations! You can skip this section. If not let's have a chat, shall we?
Do not worry if you are not doing it right, because at least you're about to learn how to do it correctly. Consider yourself lucky!
Yes, although correct breathing technique is simply the foundation of good health, only a small number of people know how to breathe effectively. Only a few of us really get the maximum amount of oxygen that is supplied by nature.
Of all the elements required for good health, oxygen is the vital one. Why? It could be the difference between life or death, between a dead brain or a functional one or a healthy body or a sick one. What's the scientific proof? Although I do not think there is a need for one (it's so obvious, that no argument is needed), let me tell you of one study. Dr. Otto Warburg, a Nobel Prize winner and director of the Max Planck Institute for Cell Physiology has demonstrated that healthy cells could be turned into malignant ones just by lowering the amount of oxygen available to them. As simple as that!
If you are looking for a free but powerful medicine that could do wonders for the body, learn
the proper breathing technique, learn how to breathe like a baby. Remember, if you start any body cleansing program that does not talk about correct breathing, you are only talking about cleaning on the surface - not the inside.
Dr. Andrew Weil, director of the Program in Integrative Medicine and clinical professor at the University of Arizona who teaches breathing technique to his patients said, “I have seen breath control alone achieve remarkable results: lowering blood pressure, improving long-standing patterns of poor digestion, decreasing anxiety and allowing people to get off anti-anxiety drugs, and improving sleep and energy cycles.”
So, take a deep breath, let your stomach expand as you inhale, hold for a few seconds, exhale and let's re-learn the correct breathing technique ..
