lets talk Gentleman.

Proper breathing is NOT something any of us were taught. Most of us are either Chest breathers or Belly Breathers. As a matter of fact, the way you breathe dictates the frequency that you keep your brain in. Almost all people are ....in Beta breathing (surprised? see: https://www.reddit.com/r/asktrp/comments/344392/am\_i\_a\_beta\_faggot\_an\_asktrp\_faq/ ) Stress is also highest when in Beta breathing mode. Deep breathing, as i will describe below, induces Theta and Delta brainwaves.

"Delta waves are associated with deepest level of relaxation, deep healing and regeneration. "

" Theta waves are associated with intuition, deep relaxation, creativity, visualization, hypnosis, light sleep, and the semi-hypnotic state between sleep and wakefulness. "

​

A Full Breath is as follows:

i will preface this by saying that unless you are doing specific breathing exercises which require you to breath into or out of the mouth, ALL BREATHING is to be done through the nose. ALL OF IT. there are a lot of reasons for it, but the very least of them is that its a filter, use it, you don't want to be a mouth breather. matter of fact, if you are a mouth breather just changing to breathing i through your nose will have an appreciable impact.

now.....

1 - sit the fuck down. exhale everything you've got. push out with your belly, with force, dont go making yourself pass out, use discretion. exhale out of the belly, lungs, chest, shoulders, feel all that STALE AIR being pushed out. again, use your common sense here, don't go passing out, i take no responsibility for your lack of care! once all of the air is gone....

2 - inhale FIRST into the belly, you may place your hand on your belly to feel the air inflate, once your belly is sufficiently full, THEN you are to breathe into your lungs/chest,starting at the base of the lugs (visualization really helps here) feel the lungs and chest fill with air, once they are sufficiently full, your shoulders will rise. this is a complete In Breath.

optional part 2B - hold this breath. for a second for 2. this is actually very advanced stuff, so practice with caution and if you have any issues stop, consult a book/internet friend/real friend/martial arts teacher/yoga teacher/ti chi teacher etc etc etc on breathing Techniques (or ask me, ive got at least 1 book id be happy to send along)

​

3 - Now to exhale: Reverse the process. feel the FIRST air out of the belly, then exhale the air out of the chest
and allow the shoulders lower, finally pushing all of that air out with the diaphragm. this is all to be done WITH CARE - ie dont lose it! you may have the feeling to push it all out very fast, try to resist and control the exhale. again, use discretion here.

​

now on a daily basis you dont have to walk around huffing and puffing like a fool. just Consciously Breathe, remember to breathe first into the belly \~> Lungs \~> Shoulders & Reverse.......you will notice a huge change in your mind once this become a habit. i can promise you.
