Link for this Post: The Power of Breathing Audio Course by Bradley Thompson
Frequent readers of the Mindware Forum are aware of the excellent work of personal growth leader Bradley Thompson. Among his developments, I have posted about his Lucid Dreaming and Binaural Beats products.
Thompson's latest creation focuses on a subtle yet profound area of personal development -- breathing. The importance of breath and how we breathe has been recognized throughout our history as a species.
In the East, the study of breathing was always an integral part of the religions and personal development schools of the Tibetan, Indians, Chinese, and Japanese.
Perhaps most well known is the breathing technique which is part of the Indian Yogic tradition called Pranayama (sometimes referred to as Prana). Translated into English, Pranayama loosely means "breath control". Ancient Indian yoga masters developed sophisticated and varied breathing techniques to maximize the benefits of prana.
Pranayama is utilized to clear and cleanse the body and mind. It is also used in preparation for meditation, and in asanas,the practice of postures, to help maximize the benefits of the practice, and focus the mind. In Tibet, a variation of Pranyama was developed called Kum Nye.
Japan's most notable breathing work school was calld Nishino Breathing Method and was considered a method to unlock Ki (Life-energy).
In China along a parallel evolution was Qiqong The Art of Breathing (also known as chi kung, chi gong, ch'i kung, chi gung, qigong, qi qong,) or "Vapor-Achievement." This study was an integral aspect of Chinese medicine involving the coordination of different breathing patterns with various physical postures and motions of the body.
The study of breathing and breathe work also has ancient origins in the West. Breathing techniques were part of the "mysteries" of the ancient Egyptians. The early Hebrews used the word ruah which literally means air, wind or breath as synonymous with soul.
The Bible emphasizes that God, creating Adam, "breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." This double meaning of "breathing" extends into modern English usage. The Latin verb spirare (to breath) is contained in the word inspiration. The ancient Greeks referred to creativity as inspiration which means be filled with the breathe of the gods. All over the world in myths and legends and tales told through the centuries as in secret societies-breathing play a significant role.
The importance of breathing is biologically obvious. We depend on on breathing to take in oxygen which necessary for life itself.. As humans, we have to eliminate the things our body is no longer using, and breathing takes much of this process as well. Other than eliminating the air from your lungs, after the oxygen has been absorbed, breathing also expels toxins from your body. You can also eliminate other things such as emotions or stress. By harnessing the immense power of breathing, you can create a better connection with your inner self.
The act of breathing is the body's most vital and basic function, yet many of us pay little attention to our breath. We have never learned how to breathe correctly!
Breathing work is built upon the premise of the total unity of the human being. Its results demonstrate the interrelation of body, mind, and feelings. Your ability to maintain optimum breathing functions is important not only to your body but to your state of mind.
You might consider yourself an expert in breathing. You think to yourself -- "haven't I been breathing my entire life. I must know what I need to know about it."
It is this incorrect assumption that keeps most people from opening up to the hidden potential breathing holds.
Quite a number of our thoughts are negative in nature. We talk to ourselves with words like "can't, shouldn't, and bad." Their negative connotations influence the we feel, increasing nervousness and stress.
Our brain processes millions of thoughts on a daily basis and focusing it on your breath gives it a much-deserved break. Ten minutes of breath work a day will gives you extra peace and helps relax both your brain and your body.
By becoming more aware of your breathing you will be able to reduce and even eliminate negativity in your life.While we have known about the power of breathing for millennia, it has only been with the advent of scientific study that we have come to fully understand and develop methods for changing your breathing patterns that can change your life dramatically for the better.
Imagine breathing differently for just a few minutes a day and enjoying these awesome results as a reward:
* Boost your brain power and ability to focus
* Enjoy greater relaxation and relief from daily stress
* Significantly improve your immune system
* Become happier and have brighter moods
* Turbo-charge your memory, creativity, energy
.
These are just some of the life-enhancing benefits that will be yours when you learn to breathe "properly" just ten minutes each day.
I found "The Power of Breathing" audio course to be revolutionary its simple and clear to understand instructions. Other breathing courses that I have tried were just too complex to follow.
The results of the course and the daily breathing ritual that resulted from its teachings has had an enduring on my life and state of mind.

You will enjoy what only a few enlightened people in the past discovered when they followed their cultures path of life breathe.
