One can alter one's medical history dramatically by the
way one breathes.
We overbreathe to breathlessness-and
sicken ourselves in many ways. The purpose of this
breathing audit is to assess respiration in an objective
and quantifiable way. This test should take less than
ten minutes, including the time taken to read this
protocol for conducting a self-audit of breathing.
Rapid and shallow breathing slowly and steadily
disrupts the finely orchestrated balance between oxygen,
carbon dioxide (CO2), acidity, and free radical activity
in the lungs, circulating blood, and mitochondria (the
cellular structures that generate energy with
oxygen-driven energetics).
Here are two spiritual considerations about
overbreathing to breathlessness. First, the primary
reason one overbreathes is that one thinks too much
about oneself. Second, the real spiritual antidote for
overbreathing is compassion, which, simply stated, is
thinking about others. For compassion to be authentic,
it has to be universal. The struggle for authetic
compassion is a tall order. Until one reaches a place of
such compassion,
Limbic Breathing, in my view, is the
best beginning.
How does Limbic Breathing
work? Briefly, Limbic Breathing facilitates healing in
chronic disorders by:
So, Limbic Breathing
delivers its clinical benefits and restores health by
improving:
● Metabolic pathways
● Neurohormonal pathways
● Oxygen-driven cellular energetics,
● Bringing in philosophic and spiritual equilibrium, and
in essence
● Returning us to our true nature.

three breaths if dismcort persists, then breathe limbically
again.
