BREATHING IS THE MOST VITAL OF FUNCTIONS FOR ANY LIVING CREATURE. YOUR BREATHING PROVIDES YOUR BODY WITH ITS MOST BASIC REQUIREMENT *OXYGEN* AND YOUR MIND AND SPIRIT WITH THEIR MOST USEFUL TOOL-DYNAMIC RELAXATION. MANY OF US TAKE "BREATHING" FOR GRANTED THAT IF WE ARE ALIVE WE MUST BE BREATHING. BUT THERE ARE MANY VARYING DEGRESS OF 'ALIVENESS', AND A PERSON WHO IS BARELY BREATHING IS IN FACT, BARELY ALIVE.
A LACK OF SUFFICENT OXYGEN WEAKENS THE BODY AND SLOWS DOWN ALL OF ITS FUNCTIONS, INCLUDING BRAIN FUNCTIONS.
MANY PEOPLE BREATHE JUST ENOUGH TO SURVIVE, OR TO FUNCTION MINIMALLY, BUT NOT TO FUNCTION WELL.
A PATTERN OF DEEP SLOW BREATHING IMPROVES YOUR CIRCULATION AND THEREFORE YOUR BLOOD BRINGS OXYGEN AND NOURISHMENT MORE EFFECTIVELY TO YOUR BODY'S CELLS.
PROLONGED STRESS REINFORCES UNHEALTHY BREATHING PATTERNS.
OFTEN A TENSE PERSON WILL BREATH THROUGH THE MOUTH, SIMPLY BECAUSE IT'S QUICKER, FEELING LIKE A FULL AND SATISFYING BREATH, BUT IT'S NOT. STRESSFUL BREATHING CONSISTS OF NERVOUS LITTLE INHALATIONS, NEVER ALLOWING FOR A FULL EXHALATION. A SIGH OF
'RELIEF' IS A SURE SIGN THAT TENSION HAS BEEN CAUSING YOU, UNCONSCIOUSLY, TO HOLD YOUR BREATH- FOR HOW LONG?
EXHALATION IS AS VITAL AS INHALATION TO HEALTHY BREATHING. IF YOUR RESPIRATORY SYSTEM IS NOT FULLY EMPTIED OF OXYGEN-POOR AIR, IT CANNOT BE COMPLETELY FILLED WITH OXYGEN-RICH AIR.
