“No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, or young or stronger, none of it matters if you’re not breathing properly.”
— JAMES NESTOR, BREATH

Heal yourself with deep breathing, a spiritual healing practice. You take up to 23,000 breaths per day. Breathing literally brings life into your body. Each time you take a breath, you bring in life force energy. Your breath gives you energy. As you breathe out, you expel toxins and waste.

The breath is an energetic connection that brings life to our body. You breathe in Divine energy that gives you energy, literally activating the sympathetic nervous system. As you let go of waste through the exhale, the body relaxes through the parasympathetic nervous system. You connect with the Divine, all that is.

The breath connects with your own Higher Self power within. You experience a heightened awareness of your senses that makes experiences clearer and more accurate.

Is Your Anxiety Caused by the Way You Breathe?

Are you one of the more than 35 million Americans live with a chronic lung disease like asthma and COPD? The NY Times bestseller, Breath, by James Nestor studied how poor breathing causes:

• Anxiety or stressed feeling

• Difficulty focusing

• Decreased immune function

• Tight muscles (trigger points)

• Fatigue, snoring, and sleep apnea

• Obesity

• Irritability

• Hypertension (high blood pressure)

• Damaged cells

Stress Affects Your Breathing

When anxious or stressed, people either breathe shallowly, taking in much less oxygen than the body needs or over breathes where hyperventilation occurs. In either case, damages the cells. Symptoms of over breathing include spasms or cramps in the hands and feet, and muscle twitching.

The Perfect Breath

”The perfect breath is this: Breathe in for about 5.5 seconds, then exhale for 5.5 seconds. That’s 5.5 breaths a minute for a total of about 5.5 liters of air.”
— JAMES NESTOR, BREATH

According to Breath, deep belly breathing that uses your whole torso (diaphragmatic breathing) causes your body to relax—it acts as a stress reset button. When you are breathing fully, you bring simultaneous coherence or balance to your body, mind, and spirit. You sync your heart rate, heart rate variability, blood pressure, and brainwave function.

• Inhale softly for 5.5 seconds. Put your hand on your belly to make sure you are fully expanding.

• Without pausing, Exhale softly for 5.5 seconds, emptying your lungs completely.

• Repeat at least 10 times or MORE

Health Benefits of Diaphragmatic Breathing

According to the National Institutes of Health, diaphragmatic breathing (breathing in and out fully where your diaphragm raises and lowers), “Studies have revealed that diaphragmatic breathing practice to be an effective non-pharmacological intervention for emotion enhancement, including a reduction in anxiety, depression, and stress….Diaphragmatic breathing improves cognitive performance.”

• Reduces stress

• Improves heart, the brain, digestion, the immune system function

• Cuts through anxiety

• Reduces inflammation by stimulating your vagus nerve to create a sense of inner-calm

• Improves sleep by increasing melatonin production

• Strengthens cardiovascular health

Spiritual Healing of Deep Breathing

Sacred texts for Christianity, Hebrew, Ancient Greek, and Sanskrit define the “breath” as “life”, “spirit”, “divine breath of inspiration.” In Arabic, the spirit or soul is said to be breathed / blown into the body.

The breath is an energetic connection that brings life to our body. As you let go of waste through the exhale, the body relaxes through the parasympathetic nervous system. You connect with the Divine, the Higher Power, God, Allah, Spirit, all that is.

• Breathe in Divine energy that gives you life, literally activating healthy cells
• Connects you with the Universe and nature–as you breathe out your breath feeds nature
• Breathwork stimulates emotional releases
• Calms your mind

Fully breathing can dissolve fear by connecting with this now moment.
