All About Breathing

Most of us probably take breathing for granted because it occurs unconsciously for us. It is only if or when we have some sort of difficulty that we become aware of how our body-life is dependent on this. Humans specifically, can last some time without food, several days without water and only a few minutes without oxygen.

As we grow older or if our musculature is locked up, this will diminish our intake or utilization of oxygen. This in turn will affect our overall level of energy and vitality. There is a body of evidence that suggests that the level of planetary oxygen has decreased from what it was many years ago and the amount of pollution in most cities is increasing to an alarming level.

There are modalities such as the many martial arts techniques that teach awareness of the breath and breathing. There are also therapies such as Rebirthing and the general breath therapies that use the breath as the general healing conduit.

When we take a closer look at breathing we notice how it will change accordingly with different emotional states. If for instance we experience a fright then the breathing will momentarily cease. On the other hand there is a state of chronic ill health or pain the breathing will most likely be shallow, with a break between the in and out breath. If you will carefully observe how someone is breathing you will gain and idea of their emotional state.

The idea is that any emotional disturbance is locked into the body's musculature and cellular structure. When this memory is recalled the emotional state of that 'time' and the breathing state associated with it will be reflected in the body. The person can use the breath to heal this 'past' event and so give themselves more energy in the present moment. The in and out breath are connected in a circular fashion. This can heighten the emotional state and then even it out to a state of homeostasis or peaceful balance. This is usually best undertaken with a facilitator to guide the process.

There is a great need for clearing emotional blockages and regaining a state of peace and equilibrium for overall good health. Depending on the state of the person and their willingness to attain greater energy and vitality there are many things possible here.

There are modalities such as qi gong and tai chi whose aim is to create a greater flow of 'chi' (life essence) in and through the body. These work on the more subtle levels of the body energy as well as strengthening the musculature. Yoga, as I understand it, works in a similar fashion.

There are the less subtle exercises like jogging, aerobics and the many sporting options that are available. There is no reason whatsoever for anyone to say that they do not have an option for increasing their lung capacity to some extent. This would be the case even if they were in a wheelchair. The main thing that is necessary is the willingness and awareness to change what one habitually does.

Relaxation is a great help in expanding lung capacity as well as helping release the tight muscles of the chest. This will necessitate a conscious focus on the part of the individual.

When the flow of oxygen is increased in the body much healing and regeneration can occur. Some of this may be painful or it may just entail feeling more energy in the body. The greater quantity of dissolved oxygen in the blood ( to its optimum) will allow more nutrients to be available for regeneration of all areas of the body. The food eaten will be more readily assimilated and smaller amounts will provide greater energy because the 'burning' capacity of the body will be increased.

Questions & Answers about Breath Expand Lung

Can my lungs swell from allergies?

I have allergies. mostly to pollen of various types, a little bit to my cat. Usually my breathing is never effected other than stuffy nose, but last night my throat started closing up. It happened once before when i walked through a field. So is this the same type of thing? it sounds like i wheezing when im trying to breath. whats worse is im giving a presentation today! LOL! so any tips to help deal with it? should i breath deeply to help expand my lungs or something?

Your lungs won't swell up, per se. When your throat closes up and you start wheezing, this is caused by laryngeal edema, vasodilation, and bronchoconstriction secondary to histamine release. Histamine is released from mast cells when they encounter the specific "substance" that you are allergic to.

Hence, when you breath in this "substance", mast cells in your lungs come in contact with the "substance" and degranulate (release) their contents. One of those contents is histamine which mediates the respiratory problems you are having.

Take a 2nd generation histamine-2 blocker like Claritin or Allegra. Don't take a 1st generation H2 blocker like Benadryl because it will make you extremely sleepy due to it's sedative properties (not good if you're giving a presentation today).

How tight is a strapless dress supposed to be?

I just bought a strapless dress, and it fits really well along the waist and hips. The only thing is that when fully zipped up, I find that I can't really take deep breaths/ expand my lungs. Normal/shallow breaths are still ok.

I've read some places that strapless dresses have stronger "grips" on the bust area in order not to slip down, so is this tightness supposed to be normal?
Thanks people, you're a lot of help

It's suppose to be tight enough to stay on, but comfortable for you to take deep breaths. In my opinion it might be to tight.
