How to never run
out of breath

All this time you’ve been breathing wrong.

Ultimately conscious breathing focuses on extending our lung capacity.

It’s free energy.

🩵 When we breathe, we only engage 10% of the diaphragm, which overburdens the heart, raises blood pressure, and causes circulatory problems. It’s like taking a little sip of air each time we inhale. Our bodies can sustain such restricted breaths, but they run out of energy quickly, so we seek stimulants.

🩵 Diaphragms are called “second hearts” because they beat to their own rhythm and affect heartbeat strength and rate. By engaging the diaphragm 50-70%, the body eases cardiovascular stress and works more efficiently.

🩵 When we inhale, negative pressure pulls blood into the heart; when we exhale, blood shoots back out into the body and lungs. It’s like how the ocean floods into shore, then ebbs away. As the diaphragm moves, the thoracic pump delivers oxygenated blood to cells and removes waste.

We begin by waking up our diaphragm from its slumber, building towards breath retention.

I share an ancient breathing technique called Ocean Breath that elongates and deepens the breath by applying pressure to the back of the throat.

Combined with certain spinal extensions, contractions and twists this type of breathing wakes up the diaphragm and widens its range.

By getting used to a wider range of the diaphragm while breathing consciously, deep and easy breathing becomes unconscious and automatic.
