Anyway, about breathing-- This is going to sound way oversimplified, but try it. Breathe in for four counts Breathe out for six, or even eight. Exhaling for a longer time than you took to inhale is the quickest easiest least expensive way to engage the parasympathetic nervous system. It is easiest if you stretch out and feel your tummy rise with the inhalation and fall with each exhalation. But the main thing is to count to yourself-- In, two, three, four, Out, two, three, four, five, six. Do this for a couple of minutes and see what happens. After a time you may need to increase the counts for the exhale, so you don't get lightheaded. Lemme know what you experience.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 I haven't.....sounds interesting. I had a friend that did some work with that in regards to some colon work she had done years ago. It was very effective for her. I know you mentioned 'seeing' your bronchial tubes as being open....that would be one idea, right? Val Romero Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Val -- Have you even " played " with imagery to help with your breathing? It's also powerful, and I highly recommend it. Let me know if you'd like some suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
