It is easy to do. Just watch the inhale motion of your breathing. Pause and say “I am breathing”. Then watch the exhale motion. Pause and say “I am breathing”. Repeat as often as you can.

The is done at bedtime about 5 minutes before sleeping and the first thing to do before leaving your bed in the morning.

Every part of your body is wired to your brain. Conscious breathing help repairs problems in this wirings.

We have a several Eli Bay breathing cassettes which we occassinally use to help us with deep breathing as there were times we didn’t practice deep breathing reguarlly.

After My T.I.A in 2005 the Psychologist streesed deep breathig to control blood pressure and relaxation,this has helped me pay attention to a healtier life

Learning how to breathe into my belly changed my life. Before learning to breathe more deeply, I did not realize that my shallow breathing was adversely affecting my health. I had stomach aches all of the time and had been medicated with little yellow pills for it during my teens. It always was worse when I was stressed and was not breathing deeply.

One week in the 70’s and I found myself in a very stressful situation that caused so much stomach pain that I was literally walking around bent over; I could not stand upright due to the pain and yes I was not breathing deeply. Eventually I was hospitalized and given Demerol which not only took away the pain but I was high!

When I left the hospital, they gave me those same little yellow pills I had taken when I was in my teens; I do not know what they were called but they made the pain less. I knew right then that I had to do something but still did not know what.

I needed to relax so I enrolled in a yoga class, a friend was teaching and this is when I learned how to breathe. Every morning , I would do yoga. Also, every day I would practice breathing into my belly while laying on my bed; it was important to totally focus on doing it as it was so not what I was accustomed to doing. Whenever I noticed the stomach pain returning I would lay down and practice breathing. Later I would practice belly breathing whenever I was sitting around, then when quietly walking and any time I remembered during the day. Now, I naturally breathe into my belly consistently. It is not a noticeable deep breathing just naturally breathing into my whole body.

Mostly, we do not learn to breathe properly; just very shallow breathing. Knowing how to breathe and relax is a skill that has served me well for many years, and I urge everyone to learn it.

Another thing I have learned is that constipation which is so common is often due to shallow breathing. When they learn to breathe into their lower abdomen they begin to have regular bowel movements.
