Ever thought about your breathing?
We take our breathing for granted and for most of us for many years there's no problem:
"It happens in any case, what is there to learn?
"Been doing it without giving it a thought, why change?"
Indeed, as long as our breathing is o.k. there's no apparent problem.
One day, without realizing the reasons, we discover that 'something is wrong':
-
- Our breathing is not as it use to be
-
- Not even a moment goes by without it drawing our attention
-
- It is not as smooth or peaceful as it was.
(Just few examples).
Our breathing now is erratic, noisy, not satisfying. Just 'being' is tiring, at the end of the day we're exhausted.
Once its starts troubling us - there's no peace.
What happened? Where did we go wrong? How come such an obvious life-sustaining process got to be so tricky?
Here's why:
Our life style affects our breathing. On a daily basis we go through changes that accumulate and slowly influence our breathing. Our new adjusted breathing then determines the way our body functions.
We have acquired a new physiological modus operandi.
We breathe to sustain ourselves by preserving the internal balance in our body.
When incorrect breathing patterns set in this balance is impaired, chronic tissues starvation ensues, which compromises the body systems - respiratory, circulatory, nervous, energetic and immune.
This can trigger a range of defense mechanisms - diseases.
The way we breathe reflects our wellbeing. Wrong breathing goes hand in hand with compromised health.
Our breathing can be both automatic and determined by us.
This key quality enables us to correct it.
Time to learn how to breathe!
Many health issues can be helped by correcting the breathing with the Buteyko method:
The feeling of ‘not having enough air’, frequent sighing, wheezing, gasping, panting, snoring, lack of energy, a constant blocked nose, hyperventilation, apnea.
The Buteyko method is outstandingly successful in easing Asthma.
If you stopped smoking; if you were seriously engaged in sports and now not any more - learning to breathe correctly is extremely important for your future health.
Mastering the integration of breathing and talking will leave you 'in breath' and no longer out of breath.
Most students wish to reduce their symptoms; some use the Buteyko method to improve their quality of life.
