PRINCIPLE
1: THE POWER OF BREATHING CORRECTLY
NUGGETS:
i.
The foundation of health is a healthy
blood stream, i.e. the system that transports Oxygen and Nutrients to
all cells of your body.
ii.
If you have a healthy circulation
system, you’re going to live a long healthy life.
iii.
The environment for a healthy
circulation system is the bloodstream.
iv.
The control button for the system is BREATHING in controls the oxygenation of
the cells and also controls the flow of lymph fluid.
v.
The LYMPH
FLUID/SYSTEM contains the white blood cells that protect the body. It is
the body’s sewage system every cell in the body is surrounded by lymph. We have 4 times more lymph fluid than blood.
vi.
The lymph system works like this:
(a) The
heart pumps blood through the
arteries to your thin & porous capillaries.
(b) The
blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the capillaries where they
are diffused into this fluid around the cells called lymph.
(c) The
cells have intelligence or affinity for what they need, so they take Oxygen
& nutrient necessary for their health and excrete toxins each into the
capillaries.
(d) But
then, DEAD CELLS, BLOOD PROTEINS and other TOXIC MATERIAL must be removed by
the lymph system!
(e) The
lymph system is only ACTIVATED by DEEP BREATHING!
vii.
The body’s cells depend on the lymph
system (see Fig. 1) as the only way to drain off the large toxic materials and
excess fluid, which restrict the amount of oxygen. The fluid passes through the
lymph nodes, where dead cells and all other poison except blood proteins are
neutralized and destroyed.

viii.
The bloodstream has a pump, your heart
(see Fig. 2). But the lymph system doesn’t have one. The only way lymph moves
is through deep breathing and muscular movement. So if you want to have a
healthy bloodstream with effective lymph and immune systems, you need to
breathe deeply and produce the movements that will stimulate them.

ix.
Dr. Jack Shields, a highly regard
lymphologist from Santa Barbara, California, recently conducted an interesting
study of the system. He put cameras inside people’s bodies to see what
stimulated cleansing of the lymph system. He found that a deep diaphragmatic
breath is the most effective way to accomplish this. It creates something like
a vacuum that sucks lymph through the bloodstream and multiples the pace at
which the body eliminates toxins. In fact, deep
breathing and exercise can accelerate this process by as much as fifteen times.
x. If you get nothing else from this seminar but
an understanding of the importance of deep breathing, you could dramatically
increase the level of your body’s health.
xi.
It’s the reason that health systems like
yoga focus so much attention on healthy breathing. There’s nothing like it to
cleanse your body.
xii.
Experiments upon experiments have shown
that LACK OF OXYGEN plays a major role in causing cells to become malignant and
cancerous.
xii Your no. 1 PRIORITY is to fully oxygenate your system and BREATHING EFFECTIVELY is the place to START.
xiv.
HOW
TO BREATHE
You should
breathe in this ratio: inhale one count, hold four counts. If you inhaled for
four seconds, you would hold for sixteen and exhale for eight. Why exhale for
twice as long as you inhale? That’s when you eliminate toxins via your
lymphatics system. Why hold four times as long? That’s how you can fully
oxygenate the blood and activate your lymphatic system. When you breathe, you
should start from lymphatics system. When you breathe, you should start from
deep in your abdomen, like a vacuum cleaner that’s getting rid of all toxins in
the blood system.
xv.
Other ways of breathing effectively
include DAILY AEROBIC EXERCISE like:
a)
RUNNING:- Good, but a little stressful
b)
SWIMMING: - EXCELLENT if you can spare
time occasionally.
c)
TRAMPOLILING: - the easiest and most
easily accessible, putting minimal stress on your body. It is the most
life-enhancing form of exercise.
