Bad breathing is a major contributor to almost ALL illness, including heart

attacks, strokes, pneumonia, cancer and many nervous system disorders, warns

breathing development expert Michael Grant White. For example when the

breathing is not full, balanced, deep and easy, the brain may be deprived of

needed oxygen and the heart must work that much harder causing it to go into

spasms called heart attacks.

Best: Focus on Ease

Focus on Ease, Depth, Timing and Balance of breathing. 1. EASE: Find the

easiest feeling and most erect posture. Example: Stand upright, thrust your

tail bone all the way forward then all the way backward. Let it come to

rest in between the middle and most forward position. This makes the

muscles and tendons that hold you erect less likely to restrict your easiest

breathing. 2. DEPTH: Try the copyrighted " Squeeze-and-Breathe " Technique© at

www.breathing.com/tips-anxiety.htm http://www.breathing.com/tips-anxiety.htm

Place thumbs in kidney area with fingers wrapped around towards belly

button. Squeeze fingers and thumbs together and breathe into space between

fingers and thumbs to widen them against the force of the squeezing. Relax

squeeze, allow effortless exhale and repeat as often as it feels good. 3.

TIMING. Let full exhale occur naturally and do not allow inhale for as long

as you can without being uncomfortable then allow the naturally much larger

inhale to come in and by holding back the amount of air being released,

spend three to ten times as long exhaling through the nose. Stay in your

comfort zone. Repeat 5-20 times over several daily occasions or s needed for

relaxation and or mental clarity.

Helpful: Go to www.breathing.com <http://www.breathing.com/> and look at the

logo in the upper left. Breathe along with it. You should find yourself

breathing more deeply and easily. 4. BALANCE. When the others are done

properly the breathing is naturally more balanced. 5. BEWARE of teachers

suggesting you should breathe in, hold, and exhale for any predetermined

number count. This technique will often cause unbalanced and effortful

breathing.
