There are some occasions where your breathing pattern changes by itself and you are made to breathe in a different way than your regular breathing. These occasions are when you sigh or yawn; you fall asleep; you exert yourself, like running; you are emotional; you laugh; you are excited; etc.

When you investigate what happens to your breathing during these occasions you will find that they all include some of the 5 Breathing Basics, but none of them include all 5 at the same time.

Natural Breathing INCLUDES ALL of these 5 Breathing Basics at the same time. When you do all these Characteristics together, you’ll RETAIN more Life-force in your body, than you usually have. This uproots engages holding back and raise your Success Tolerance and Well-being.

A Natural Breathing Session starts with jump-starting the 5 Breathing Basics, like using a starter to get your engine going, by mimicking the 5 Breathing Basics.

———————————————–

The 1st BREATHING BASIC
– CHOOSING AWARENESS

• Awareness means to have a sensation or experience of BEING, here and now. 
• Awareness is not an idea, thought, try or observation.
• You are aware when you have an experience.

———————————————–

The 2nd BREATHING BASIC
– BREATHE WITH YOUR CHEST

• Your lungs are what you breathe with, and they are located in your chest.
• Your rib-cage is built to change size as evidenced by the chest being constructed with ribs and space between the ribs. There are also muscles between your ribs, that can make your rib-cage change size and thus inflate and deflate your lungs.
• Starting your inhale with your diaphragm doesn’t happen naturally, when you sigh, exert yourself or have an emotion. Breathing starting with your diaphragm can only be activated through your thinking, manipulating your breathing.
• When you yawn or sigh, fall asleep, laugh, are emotional or exert yourself your chest is expanding and collapsing with the breathing.

———————————————–

The 3rd BREATHING BASIC
– BREATHE FULLY

• Filling your lungs fully, provides all the benefits of oxygenating the body and living life with passion, excitement, and charisma.
• Because of the low breathing set-point, to practice Natural Breathing you need to INHALE MORE THAN YOU ARE INCLINED TO.

———————————————–

The 4th BREATHING BASIC
– BREATHE CONTINUOUSLY

• Breathing Continuously means that you connect your inhale and exhale in a continuous manner, like when you fall asleep and when you run.
• A PASSIONATE CONTINUOUS RHYTHM and A GOOD TEMPO happens when you are excited or when you exert yourself, like when you run and are eager and excited.

———————————————–

The 5th BREATHING BASIC
– BE RELAXED

Being Relaxed means that you RETAIN the Life-force that Natural Breathing builds up.

Make sure you don’t waste your increased Source Energy and refrain from:

• Holding or pushing your Exhale.
• Physically tensing or moving your body.
• Mentally being distracted with thinking or worrying, or “trying to breathe”.

———————————————–

* Caution – Do not do these 5 Breathing Basics on your own without first having been trained by a Natural Breathing Coach.

Excerpt from the Natural Breathing Own Your Self Manual.

Take Natural Breathing for a Test-Drive with
the One-Minute “BREATHING SNACK”…

You can do this when you want to feel present, energized, and awake.

• Become AWARE of your body and notice your breathing.
• Become aware of the air coming in and out of your MOUTH.
• Breathe using your CHEST MUSCLES to fill up your lungs.

• Connect your inhale and your exhale, so there is a circular breathing.

• Breathe DEEPER and FASTER than you are inclined to. (Add a little passion into your breathing.)

When you start to feel light-headed or have tingling in your body (which happens within a minute if you breathe as described above) go back to letting your body choose how it wants to breathe. (= Do not continue to make yourself breathe in any particular way.)

Enjoy your heightened sensations. It might surprise you that breathing more can bring about such a strong experience.
