Could Baby Brain Be A Habit!?
We look at breathing like a metaphor… Our breathing habits can tell us a lot about what needs to be addressed in the physiology and the psychology.
Take for instance a pregnant woman, there is tremendous pressure on the diaphragm and most likely she will...
Look To Treat The Cause, Not The Symptoms
There was a report from the USA stating that 60% of the ambulance call outs were as a result of acute symptoms brought on by the way someone is breathing.
This has been of great interest to us… how can someone experience radical symptoms...
CONCLUDING COMMENTS
Anyone who does breathing work with clients should know at least something about the basics of respiratory physiology and how changing breathing mechanics immediately, profoundly, and precisely alters breathing chemistry. A truly practical understanding, however, of the...
RESPIRATION AND CONSCIOUSNESS
Overbreathing results in reduced CO2 concentration (hypocapnia) and alkalosis in blood plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, and the interstitial fluid that surrounds all neurons in the brain. Hypocapnia results in cerebral vasoconstriction, as a function if its direct impact...
COMPROMISED RESPIRATION
“Taking charge of breathing” triggered by an unconsciously learned breathing habit, or brought on by a misguided conscious breathing intervention, often results in overbreathing and immediate changes in acid-base physiology as per the H-H equation. The result...
BREATHING CHEMISTRY (internal respiration)
Many people believe that good breathing is about moving as much oxygen (O2) as possible into the blood, while simultaneously eliminating (excreting) as much carbon dioxide (CO2) as possible from the blood, through “the right” breathing...
RESPIRATION
Respiration can be subdivided into three phases: external, internal, and cellular. External respiration is about breathing mechanics, moving air in and out of the lungs, e.g., slow/fast, deep/shallow, mouth/nose, diaphragmatic/chest, rhythmic/dysrhythmic, exhale completed/not...
Breathing and its potential effects on our lives, positive and negative, are enormous. Appreciating this enormity is significantly enhanced by learning about the amazing physiology of breathing, which together with understanding breathing as motivated behavior, can account for the profound and...
