EVALUATIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS
If your scores are
all GOOD or NO then
that is the best. When people have good scores they are statistically in
much better health and state of being then those with lower scores.
By optimizing one's breathing and creating the correct
internal and energetic balance, physiological changes occur through increased oxygenation,
breathing and nervous system balance.. This affects the entire human
organism and its billions of functions, including all of the subtle energy systems such as meridians, chakras and
auras.
Our clients and the clients of colleagues using similar
breathing developing techniques have collectively helped several hundred thousand people
throughout the world over the last 30 years. Most of them had one or two other
diagnosed conditions that were improved simultaneously. For example, as the list of asthmatics treated with the
breathing specialist techniques grows, the practitioners find that more and more people
are reporting not only a reduction in their asthma symptoms but also a reduction in
anxiety and fatigue.
The goal is to develop one's breathing so
that it is in the top 5% of the achievable scores. When you develop
your breathing properly, you also develop the rest of your body and mind.
Breath is life.
Even people with no health concerns who have never been
sick a day in their life are learning that by developing Optimal
Breathing. They look better, feel more rested get more done and have more fun, and
live a lot longer.
How good is YOUR breathing? Let's begin to find out.
BREATHING TEST ANSWERS
To help you choose what to do and why.
Life is mostly about optimal energy/vitality, nervous system
health and emotional balance or the
lack thereof. It is best to address them from a
holistic perspective.
Just
as in real life, the more issues we wish to address the more
solutions may need to be utilized. The wonderful thing about
developing our breathing is that it helps many, many, many problems at the same
time. Breath IS life.

1. Relaxed breaths per minute?
___. The more often you
breathe the higher the stress and oxygen cost.
15 or more Poor
11-14 Fair
8-10 Good
5-7 Very Good.
3-4 Excellent.
Higher breathing rates generally relate to a tendency towards, excessive
stress responses, nervousness, anxiety, panic
attacks, ranting, raving & rage, heart conditions, high blood pressure, strokes,
and and a general state of less to far less then optimal health. They
help cause or worsen every health condition known to mankind.

2. Pause rate during comfortable rest.
Less than 3 seconds____. The pause is the resting phase of the in and out
breath.
The pause.
"The vital preparation
for what is to follow" Elsa Gindler.
No pause, no rest. Some might call it "a point of stillness".
With too short a pause your body never really
rests. To use the automobile metaphor,
- your engine is still at high revolutions even while standing still at a stop sign. Too-short pauses and you don't really rest even while sleeping.
Excessively long pauses during sleep past 10 seconds
accompanied with abrupt wakening can be related to
sleep disturbances including sleep apnea, snoring, and existing or
developing heart conditions.
Long pauses may be healthy as well such as with some long term meditators or
long distance runners.
The
breathing rate is the key and then comes the relationship between the breathing rate and
pause.
Too short pauses cause chronic fatigue and distressing
stress.
Less than 3 seconds definitely requires
improvement and lengthening the pause..
None or less than 1 second pauses is
what I deem a state of emergency
and often accompanies severe or several different maladies and negative conditions.
Shorter pauses generally
relate to anxiety panic attacks, heart conditions, high blood pressure,
weight problems and or being stressed out.

3. Number count. A BASELINE. To
measure your approximate breathing volume and efficiency
Science has
proven that your primary marker for longevity is how big your breath is. Your
FEV1 or Forced Exhalation Volume in ONE Second.
Oxygen
uptake occurs primarily during the exhale. I can reach 200-250. How high a
number count did you reach? _________;
Try it again now if you are uncertain that if you
did it properly; until you get nearly or the same number twice.
My research strongly indicates that below
100 on the number count means you may well have a serious health challenge
or a condition that can invite one. Please make absolutely
sure that you take immediate action. Don't panic, don't worry, just
take action and begin an Optimal Breathing Program soon.
Breathing ease and oxygen increase
strengthens EVERY healthy biochemical reaction in the human body from
1.Killing germs, viruses, bacteria,
fungi and yeast
2.Enhancing brain function.
3.Increasing vitality
4.Speeding recovery times from
stress, illness and trauma
5.Free-radical neutralization
6.Healing wounds
7. Enhancing the body's waste treatment
systems in the lungs,
liver, kidneys, bladder, colon and lymphatics
8. Being critical to heart strength
and function.
Forced deeper breathing
in or out can restrict easier larger deepest breathing. For this
reason we use very little of it. Our Optimal Breathing system
increases vital capacity, aspiratory capacity, functional reserve
capacity, total lung capacity, tidal volume, and expiratory reserve
volume. It decreases lung dead spaces and non functional alveoli. It
also invites increased oxygen uptake/utilization (QO2) and reduced
oxygen cost of breathing.

4a. Physical. Posture.
Do you slouch at all? In other words would you consider your
posture to be less then excellent?
Posture is indispensable for optimal
breathing and optimal health. But just
sitting or standing straight is not going to feel comfortable to most people
because their body has adapted to support itself in a slightly or severely
slouched position and standing upright actually reduces easy breathing.

Stand and look into a mirror or just close your eyes or ask someone to observe you.
Take a very deep breath,
as deep as you can. Do you raise your rib cage or shoulders or do your
neck muscles bulge out when taking a deep breath?
This indicates that you are trying to get breath where there is little or NO
lung tissue. This is explained clearly in our 176 Breathing Improvement
Video along with ways of eliminating this response.

Unbalanced Deep Breathing. The way you breathe may be the fastest to get
lasting results. Diet or environment may be more or less relevant but if
you overlook the way you are breathing, you greatly risk failure in
optimal results or you risk failure getting any results at all.
Develop your breathing to either eliminate or rule out any
breathing caused condition.

3. Get jet lag real bad
4. Do you sit in a car,
bus, train, plane seat more than a few hours daily?
This is more about what you are sitting in and how that
negatively effects
the way you breathe when you are walking or sleeping. The more you develop
your breathing the more you intuit what causes your loss of energy and you
naturally adjust to develop more energy.
Most can not do this without first
developing good
breathing. Many try stimulants or drugs to offset
what may easily be handled by breathing development.

5. Belly or chest breather?
Stand, place left hand on chest, right hand on
belly. Breathe in: Does your left hand raise first?
Left hand means high chest or reverse breathing.
These are
the worst ways to breathe. It over stimulates your entire nervous system
inviting anxiety, panic attacks. asthma, hyperventilation, vascular
constriction, acidic blood, heart troubles and a host of other
maladies.
Breathe in: Does the belly go in __or out__. Goes IN
you are a reverse breather. All the benefits of the belly breath elude you. Fear, tension
and energy swings can run your life.
This can cause:·
Lessened personal power
Fatigue
Getting sick more often
Poor digestion
Gas, constipation/diarrhea
Tired yet cannot sleep
Hypertension
Feeling 'on edge'
Decreased ability to think clearly
Low back muscle spasms
Low back pain, painful walking
Feeling of not being able to take a big easy breath
The more the breath is based in the lower abdomen the more
stress may be tolerated. Repeat MAY be. This does not mean you will not be stressed. Only
you will not react as intensely negative as with less of a belly breath foundation. This is
the basis of transforming fear into excitement. Strong singing as in classical or opera,
public speaking, chanting, non violent martial arts help develop this. Optimal
Breathingtm combines all of these insights in its sessions and trainings.

Chronic illness or
being medicated indicates additional holistic factors in need.
My research leads me to
believe that repetitive or chronic illness almost ALWAYS has a significant
breathing component. See more about oxygen to get a better understanding. You
will see several testimonials on the Results

in mind.

Holistic approaches may be superior to drug based medical approaches.

10a. Want to sing or to
speak or sing stronger and or better?
A Latin word for fear, the name escapes
me at present is "seized up in the throat". In sports some
call it "choking". Singing and speaking are wind passing
membranes aided by balanced breathing. The keys are in
the internal integrity of the diaphragm size and strength, posture, rib cage
flexibility, windpipe constriction or lack thereof, a relaxed throat
and jaw and the interrelatedness of all of that.
Breathing should most often be addressed first. Barring congenital
deformity or traumatic alternation of some portion of the respiration/ vocal
tract, strength, coordination and
stability of the wind production are ALL one needs to sing. Singing
teachers can then help develop style and technique for special effects and
performance goals of the singing person. Amateur
Professional or Competitive.

10b. Your voice is often a
reflection of your core level internal power and vitality.
Ever notice how a lot of "old" people
have weak crackly voices?
A strong voice is often a good sign of healthy
breathing if combined with a good number count, long pauses, large chest
expansion (see "Secrets" manual) and a below 10
count breath rate.
A strong voice with a LOW number count, high breath
rate, fast pause rate and large chest has has been observed in emphysema
victims.
It is possible to detect slight changes in the breathing by monitoring the
sound and feelings/vibrations of the voice. The
176 Rapid Breathing Improvement
Video works on this. for advanced work, once you have the video a Telephone
or private in person consultation is also quite effective.

12. FOOD
a. Does less than 75% of your daily diet consist of raw uncooked food?
Your lungs act as major detoxification mechanisms. Raw living food is filled with
natural food enzymes and fiber. Enzymes act like the labor force of your body. Like the teamsters,
warehousemen and construction workers that actually physically move material
from place to place. When you cook the food you kill the enzymes
and the lungs have to do a lot of that work themselves to help process
the food. Copious enzymes = extra natural energy. These take a lot of the
detoxification load off the lungs and allow the lungs to process complex
carbohydrates via excretion of carbon dioxide. To inhibit this process with
dead fiber-less foods causes waste and toxins to back up into the breathing
system, blood and other body tissues. There are thousands of plant and human body
(metabolic) enzymes and a comparatively few digestive enzymes. Few
take enough supplemental digestive enzymes as they are too often too
expensive. If you answered YES to the above and eat less then 100% raw
living foods you need a good affordable digestive enzyme.

13. FOOD
Do you
consume animal food, breads, cereals, grains such as spaghetti, dairy
products, chocolate, sugar, salt, fried foods, smoke cigarettes, caffeine
beverages?
None are live and all require the body's energy to digest them. These all produce or help invite mucous production, just like when you get a cold and cough up
phlegm. Digestive
enzyme supplementation is mandatory. They also have little to no natural fiber. Fiber is the body's
natural broom. It helps sweep the body free of toxins. The more you
eat of these foods the more you will cough up mucous when you eat, get colds
or notice frothy bubbles in the toilet bowl when you urinate. You will have
more potential for lung problems and other illnesses as well.
Any past long term consumption of the above means you must
preferably cease consuming it. Or to the degree you are eating cooked foods,
at the very least supplement with digestive enzymes. It also indicates you need to develop your lungs to offset
the long term lack of proper nutrition.
For optimal breathing you need to do both. This is relatively simple when
shown how. We address this in Energy Level 2

14.
Energy low? Just want more?
Large healthy lungs use approximately 3 % of your body's energy during quiet respiration. Unhealthy lungs can
use up to 33 times that amount of the body's energy.
Imagine a bicycle pump with a 2 foot long plunger. Draw the plunger in
and out the full 2 feet and you have the potential for a maximum exchange of
air into the tire. This is a metaphor for a huge deep breath.
Draw the plunger in and out a only one half half inch and you have a
shallow gasping breath heaving breath with almost no air input. Long slow
deep versus short fast shallow. Every action uses oxygen. The short fast
shallow is much less efficient. Add to this stronger cells both from
increased oxygen and nutrients that uptake the oxygen and pass the blood brain barrier.
You
must both DEVELOP and
FEED your
lungs.
