Deep Breathing
Oxygen is one of the most important elements required to sustain life. Without it, our health begins to suffer. All metabolic processes in the body are regulated by oxygen. Our brain processes billions of bits of information each second. The Salk Institute, La Jolla, CA shows that improved oxygen can generate new brain cells in adults. Even our abilities to think, feel and act require oxygen-related energy production. Sufficient oxygen helps the body in its ability to rebuild itself and maintain a strong and healthy immune system. The vast majority of cellular functions depend on an adequate supply of oxygen.
Whether from improper breathing, poor diets, air pollution, or lack of exercise, our cells are unfortunately being deprived of this vital element, lessening our natural life-support.
We are indeed breathing machines and must have oxygen constantly or we will perish! However, most people are shallow breathers. They get oxygen in the upper regions of the lungs but seldom get sufficient oxygen into the deep lower regions of the lungs. Deep breathing constantly cleanses and purifies the body. When we exhale, we breathe out toxins and carbon dioxide, which must be eliminated. Deep breathing is the most important function in raising the body to its highest potential and vitality.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMF), to be exact, magnetic resonance stimulation (MRS) can become the most valuable partner in achieving higher oxygen utilization.
Dark field microscopy shows evidence that after only 8 minutes exposure to an earth based magnetic field, all red blood cells carry considerably more of their valuable “cargo”, namely oxygen, to all organs, the brain and tissues. Carrying more oxygen also results in improved circulation. White blood cells, the body’s police force, have proven to triple in size when exposed to PEMF. Magnetic resonance stimulation is therefore an important prerequisite to improve cell function. This is true in particular of tired cells that are no longer receiving enough blood, nutrients and oxygen. In addition, therapeutic use of pulsed electromagnetic fields enhances the production and use of ATP, the fuel of every cell. Result: Improved cell energy by improving mitochondrial production, often called the power houses of the cell. This in turn helps cell membrane pumps to operate more efficiently, increasing cell potential. To summarize: Improved oxygen supply boosts important biological processes in and around the cell.
Just to mention a few oxygen life-support benefits and facts:
– Heightens concentration, alertness and memory
– 90% of our energy comes from oxygen
– Promotes healing and counters aging
– Calms your mind and stabilizes your nervous system
– Strengthens your heart, reducing the risk of heart attacks and much, much more.
HELPFUL HINT: While resting on the mat, relax and try to slowly inhale through your nose occasionally. Avoid to move the upper chest or the abdominal region. If you are breathing correctly, you can feel your lower ribs expand. Now take in a long deep breath. When you feel that your lungs are filled to full capacity with air, slowly expel the breath with a sigh.
“Breathing deeply, fully and completely energizes the body, calms the nerves,
fills you with peace and helps keeping you youthful”
(Paul C. Bragg)
