Breath in

 

 Breath in

  There is a reason behind the saying "just keep breathing", so go on... Take a deep breath in , it's free and it will surely make you feel great!

What happens if your breathing pattern is incorrect?

Due to Carbon Dioxide being a natural muscle relaxer, people who have right breathing patterns (during their automotic breathing) easily maintain a correct posture keeping the spinal cord straight. It is therefore easy for them to breathe from their belly (as appose to chest) at all times. They have no signs of stress in their gait. However, most people (about 90% of normal people) breathe about twice more than normal. This is called Hyperventillation and chronic sufferers feel the impact on their muscle cells being made irritable and tense. Hyperventillation may also casue people to lose concentration as well as making it harder to control their emotions and/or think rationally. Sufferers may become unpleasnt, agressive, anxious, inconsistent, impulsive, hyperactive, intolerant, depressed, disrespectful and even verbaly abusive (and the list goes on). Due to tense muscles the cordination of some people may become poor.

When you breathe correctly it calms down the brain, this allows correct transmitting (through our senses and our nerve cells) of information for an objective analysis. It is essential that during the process of communication and analysis we have as minimal interference as possible from our nervous system. Hyperventillation has a massive effect on our preception of things and plays a main role in our immediate reaction to stress or in emergancies (threatening situation such as when our well-being or life might be in danger). At such critical situations our objective world needn't be our highest priority. Instead, we need to fight or flight to save our lives. Hence, our mind is in need of a problem to deal with-this could be an outside problem, stress, enemies or any kind of threat. When there is no actual threat or danger, our over-excited mind might invent threats out of nothing, literally. Over-breathing (hyperventillation) can increase our tendency to look for threats (or any other type of problems/enemies) as we make ourselves more anxious and nervous. This will lead to completely uneccesary stress in a person's life, and stress has its own negative impact on us. It is a difficult cycle to get out of, but once you treat it and get your breathing cycles correctly, life can be much simpler and easier to enjoy. Get it solved once and for all and start riping out the benefits of medically normal breathing.
