Just Breathe!
The ezine of The International Breath Institute (IBI) is sent from Dr. Tom Goode. IBI shares ways to stay awake in the dream with:
- your thoughts heading in the direction you choose,
- your emotions open and flowing,
- and physically feeling fully alive.
Just Breathe! offers ideas on attaining optimal health through lifestyle management--learning to live in harmony and alignment with our holistic nature…and a sometimes humorous look at life on Planet Earth.
Readers are typically those who know of their make-up as body, mind and spirit. They are referred to as the awakening or awake as contrasted with being asleep to or oblivious of ones spiritual nature. Just Breathe! is for people consciously embracing their spiritual path.
As a whole (holistic, holy) being each of us is comprised of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects coordinated within one unitary expression. The four aspects of the mindbodysoul system are examined and described separately for clarification.
From an energetic perspective, each of us is are already whole and complete, expressing our true nature at our individual level of evolution of consciousness. Modern science and ancient wisdom confirm our divinity, the existence of the soul and life that continues beyond physical death.
The implications of human nature as consciousness with a “soul” are profound. Scientific revelations validate both ancient and more modern spiritual knowledge. Taking action to be one’s “best” or higher, more enlightened self is generally conceded to be the greatest service or gift to others any one person can make.
If there were nothing to fix, and only to realize (make real) one’s true nature, a good first step would be to make real that feeling (of wholeness and completion) in the body by anchoring it with Full Wave Breathing. All that is required is to put Full Wave Breathing to work. Repeated over time, the seemingly miraculous occurs.
Content
The Just Breathe! ezine expresses a view of the mindbodysoul aspects of holistic
health. It is a monthly newsletter for the awakened and awakening--who know
themselves to be multidimensional (energetic, divine sparks) beings with
physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects. It is for those who practice
their spiritual purpose by living lives of greater enlightenment and service
through the pathways of Love, Joy and Peace.
The Soul
This ezine is for those with interest is in their consciousness (increasing
conscious awareness) as a spiritual being.
Just Breathe!
is a community (common unity) connection for awakening and awakened beings,
integrating the wonders of Life.
Just Breathe!
shares a perspective, an alternative (holistic) view of human existence,
intended to expand the mind's understanding. The mind then relaxes so the ego
“watch dog” role that produces anxiety and tension can be set aside. Head and
heart function together to respond to life’s circumstances, operating from
"higher" consciousness or being in the flow of life.
The general idea is that the more whole one’s life, then the greater is the access to health and happiness. Researcher Dr. David Hawkins points out that to increase awareness even a little is significant because growth is logarithmic rather than linear.
Having awakened to, become cognizant of, the process of awakening, the usual next step is to heal the physical level. Otherwise a great deal of energy that could otherwise be utilized at another level is expended on maintenance of the body.
Healing may or may not involve a “cure” for any condition. The healing step enables the individuated soul to more freely express creativity and joy. Each “healee” then becomes the source-connection of transformation for others. The lower body, housing the gut brain, is harmonized with the head/heart operating as one. The vibratory effect upon others is harmonious, uplifting and, in-turn, transformative. One-by-one, each part of the whole—represented by the individual-- sounds his note until music abounds.
Context
Full Wave Breathing, among a host of alternatives, is the single, most
important exercise for our life and whole health. Those who use it regularly
feel better and feel more alive.
Letter from the Editor (writer, proof reader and researcher)
Last month’s issue, JB 36, ended the 3rd year of the newsletter. This month’s edition is a transitional issue. After years of offering a free newsletter packed with healthful and hopefully helpful tips to save your time, energy and effort—not to mention money by keeping you away from unnecessary visits to the doctor’s office and hospital, IBI has decided to change our venue.
The Just Breathe! Ezine, often described as a monthly consciousness raising course, will become a subscriber-only newsletter after the next issue. Now there will be a monthly subscription basis for your continuing to receive what I hope have been inspiring, uplifting, and humorous ideas to improve your daily life. There’s a lot more ins store for you.
The start date for this new arrangement is March 31st, 2008. The monthly tuition for continuing to receive Just Breathe! will be $12—with, of course, a discount for prepayment. Your new subscription will include a daily Full Wave Breathing email reminder.
So, now what?
-
Will you continue with IBI each month as your consciousness continues to be challenged by the normal course of life on the planet?
-
Will you utilize your reading of the ezine as a “time-out,” a moment or two away from the world of stress?
-
And what else might you expect to receive if you will be paying for it?
These are all good questions that I would want answered before I charged up my credit or debit card. Here’s the thing: stressors are going to increase. That’s right. There will be more noise—both from the media and the environment. As there is more chaos outside, you need more order inside. Who else is going to remind you to breathe or lead you through exercises for your soul? Nooo-body!
If you don’t take time out to go within with your breathing, reflection and meditation, the consequences are not pretty. I can’t sit you down and breathe with you or get you to post reminders in your home and car--AND I can help keep you conscious of your breathing. You’ll receive a daily Voice For the Breath message as a reminder of who we all are with a simple tip on how to keep remembering it.
Another thing planned for subscribers is a more in-depth commentary. Face it: Writing for a general public, even a more enlightened one, requires maintaining a politically correct face. As those of you who have attended our workshops know, I am more “in your face” in person. So the “new” ezine will be more direct in addressing some of the foibles and false-steps that lie in the path of greater personal realization.
What is personal realization? I use this term instead of the one more often thrown about, “enlightenment.” Personal realization is what happens when you realize you are part of the One—actually the One—looking out from the personal identity eyes. The task, after having such an awakening, epiphany or illumination, is to live from that glimpse of conscious awareness full time or to “make real” the awareness.
People who take our workshops often report such awakening or enlightening experiences. Then, as is inevitable since we are in bodies for a purpose, the euphoria passes and we are once again confronted with our daily lives. The stressors have not disappeared. Hopefully, however, the insights gained in such moments enable us to embrace life with more love and less reaction.
Yeah, don’t we wish! Too often, the weekend ends, and tomorrow is rush hour again, tugs on mommy’s skirt and the pressures of hunting down the next meal. How is a person supposed to deal? As you have learned there is no “supposed to.” Each one of us is already well-equipped to deal with our lives. The solution, as you continue to be reminded, is simple: Just Breathe! and then do the next thing.
So I am hoping you’ll continue to be a member of the IBI (say those three letters aloud 3 time and see how it feels) community. If you like, I won’t refer to you as a heavy breather. Besides I’d rather know you as a conscious soul.
My job? (Acronym for Joy Of Being) My job is to tune into what is needed in the readership group and write about effectively handling the challenges presented by living in a body in these increasingly challenging times. You may remember when the ezine had a lot of health tips—drink this, take that vitamin. There will be some more of that—like (free tip here!—pay attention!) you really would benefit from extra Vitamin D3, particularly those who live in the Northeastern part of the US.
When Caron and I lived there, we took off every February for a place of warmth and sunlight to deal with the long winters. Later, science told us that our intuitive migration was actually a natural method of addressing a new malady—Sunlight Affective Disorder—SAD. Seems as if you don’t get enough sunlight, you become depressed. I also put full spectrum lights in the house to offset the shorter days and longer winter nights. Now you can simply add Vitamin D3 to your daily intake and it’s a lot cheaper than going off to Florida or Cancun.
An alternative vacation is to switch on the full spectrum lights and turn up the thermostat for a day and just lie around sipping Pina Colada mix. As you know, I don’t’ recommend drinking alcohol despite the promotions that say a drink a day increases longevity. Have some grape juice instead if you need the taste to help with the illusion.
Mid-month on Valentines Day, we
will launch a 5 week evening
Breathe
and Grow Rich Tele-Seminar
for
Breathe and Grow Rich, the new Self Care for Your Whole Life manual that Linda Osga and I put together for you. You can read about both the book and the seminar. If you are a subscriber, you save 10%.
Here
is the truth: You have a dis-ease! It is part of being human—a word that means
part immortal (hu) and part mortal (man). Let’s call it a sleep disability in
that you forget who you are and need to be reminded. One of
my favorite characters in literature appears in Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan
Swift whose tongue-in-cheek attack on his society’s limitations was presented as
a children’s story. In the particular part most memorable, to me, the king sat
on his throne and dealt with the affair of the kingdom on a daily basis. The
problem was he didn’t want to be there attending to the affairs of state and
solving the problems of the realm. So he would check out and fall asleep to
avoid dealing (denial). To
prevent this from wrecking the lives of his subjects, the king hired two people
who stood, one on each side of him, to keep him awake and alert. Called
“flappers,” they held wands and whenever the king would nod off, they would flap
him with their wand and bring him back to himself. Call
me and the Just Breathe! newsletter a flapper. The job? Keep you focused for the
benefit of all of the subjects in your kingdom—viral, bacteriological and
cellular; organ systems as well as family, friends, co-workers and creditors.
You cannot afford to fall asleep in a world of growing stressors and increasing
pressures. Wake up and stay awake! Some
married couples can plan this role for each other. It is most beneficial when
each knows the other is doing the best he or she can The
email reminders will definitely help you stay focused. And don’t worry about
billings either. We’ll set them up for you so your subscription—monthly,
quarterly, annually, renews itself automatically until you tell us to stop. That
way you won’t have to be concerned with another detail. The
new format introduced in last month’s Just Breathe! will continue—so you can
quickly click on what first attracts you and then read the rest later. The
content, however, promises to be more specific in reversing and resolving stored
stressors. So you
are moving forward as fast as you can, expanding and “growing:
Where do you
go for information on “transgenerational stress?” Just Breathe! will talk about
that…and what to do about it.
How about
“reincarnational stress?” It doesn’t matter if you believe in past lives or not.
A memory may be a symbol from the psyche that arises to help us understand a
current issue. You’ll be shown how to get the memories to arise and what to do
with them. Case study examples will be used to help you along the way.
For a
moment, think of all of these “not me” in-this-lifetime-stressors as weight you
unconsciously carry around on your shoulders—in your liver, heart and back.
Surely you can see the value of lightening your load with a monthly
consciousness course showing your how to do so. So as
not to totally shock you, the paid subscription begins with the March 31st
issue. This means that you will receive this and one more free Just
Breath! Ezine. I So,
tighten your belt, skip a couple of days a week at Starbucks or otherwise
prepare your budgets. Next, prepare your minds for the “big push.” Did you read
the last issue of Just Breathe!? Do you remember the article, “What Lies
Ahead?” When the cycles do align in 2009—and we are already feeling the
electromagnetic effects—expect any out of balance condition to become more so. As
imbalances are exacerbated, expect it to become more difficult more people to
stay centered and balanced. Expect it to become more of a challenge to maintain
a heart-oriented focus as well. You owe it to yourself and those around you not
to become a casualty. You can avoid many of the difficulties inherent in living
in these exciting times IF you remember to Just Breathe!...and then do the next
thing.
Remembering, however, hasn’t been so easy for most people. That is why you need
a more intense experience and reminder. That is why the newsletter or ezine will
be taking a more in-depth look at the soul and its tendencies. That is also why
you’ll require and receive regular email reminders to keep doing what you
already know how to do. So,
for now and from now, think of the Just Breathe! Ezine as your ombudsman or
mentor—a champion of your cause.. Just Breathe! is a simple statement with which
to begin. Then the newsletter will provide suggestions as to what IS the next
thing for you. I look
forward to increasing my service to you. As always, you can email me with any
questions or suggestions.

the Brain
The usual
human tendency is to have to hear or read things many times before acceptance
sinks in. This very normal process occurs when an idea is first introduced.
Repeated exposure then brings us to acceptance, and finally adoption of an idea.
Then changes occur automatically as if by some magical process. It is a magical
process in that science cannot yet explain how, as our attitude shifts, the
cells respond as if they were conscious. If they act as if they are conscious,
what does that tell us about their nature?
Note: See
Advanced Full Wave Breathing at the end of the exercise instruction.
At The
Crossroads—It’s Your Choice—the heaven of health freedom or the hell of
healthcare Which
way will you go? Which way will you believe? One road is paved with good
intentions—to conquer disease and lay waste to the home of the invader.
Unfortunately that home to which waste is being laid means your body.
The other road isn’t paved at all—no terraforming bulldozers, concrete or
macadam. It’s a path of harmony and balance. It works with the natural order of
things and maintains the landscape.
Actually either path you take is a religious one. Once you set out on the road
to good intentions, your first rest stop is at a priest’s office where your
medical history will begin its communication processes with diocese and sister
clinics and hospitals, surgeons and specialists. Indoctrination has begun. The
priest, licensed medical practitioner, believes fiercely in his god and expects
you to worship its handiwork of pharmaceuticals and surgery. You must come
humbly before those who know what is best for you and bow down to their way. You
must come bringing gifts of insurance as well, for the way is complicated and
costly for the pilgrim venturing along the paved way of modern medicine. Off
the road and on the path, there are no priests lurking to steal your
self-confidence or plunder your hope with diagnosis. There are only wise women
and men who know of the true god, the god of Nature. Their god says that the
body is self healing and neither a burden, nor a curse. Instead, their god says
the pilgrim only need observe the laws of energetic harmony and balance to find
the promised land of health. You
are expected to religiously practice the habits of good health so you are never
taken prisoner and confined in hospital or clinic, punished by being forced to
ingest or be injected with anti-biotics or other toxic substances. You are
expected to make rational choices to care for your mindbody system as if it were
an exuberant child; that is, with a firm and loving hand. Habits
can lead to the heaven of health freedom or the hell of healthcare.
The
habit of self-care is the most important one and may require being self-taught.
The vital habit of listening to the part of you that knows best can be
cultivated with periods of quiet, reflection and contemplation; relaxing,
breathing and meditating. These are methods of celebration and not austerities
or rituals to be practiced. Which
will you take and which choice will you make? For those who now choose the path
rather than the road, I invite you to continue with me monthly sharing
perspectives on our times offered for your humor and enbrightenment. All
membership funds go to the enbrightened planet project. You don’t have to
change. You only have to be yourself. And when you are, you shine with radiant
presence. The best way to enbrighten yourself is with Full Wave Breathing. The
low $12 monthly subscription may mean little to you and a great deal to the
enbrightened planet project. This is a cause that cares. Your donation and
support enables the project to sustain its outreach efforts. Your contribution
could in no way ever be considered tax deductible. Don’t even try.
Use Full
Wave Breathing to effectively manage 85% of your biochemistry and boost your
mindbodysoul system's natural healing ability. How important is this in your
life? How great do you want to feel? What would happen if you tithed 10% of your
time to your spiritual unfoldment? What kind of result do you imagine
would occur? 2.4 hours per day x 6 days would give you the equivalent of a day
and a half of normal “work” time devoted just to you. What kind of results would
you expect? Those who practice Full Wave Breathing daily report incredible
results. Start where you are and build progressively—like any other kind of
exercise.
Detailed
instruction, exercise and testimonials are in the new book now available to

Breathe!
readers.

Self-Responsible LoveCare™
Our mind
and body work well until overloaded with stressors accumulating in cells and
tissues. Chronic stress then makes us become a shallow breather, wearing down
the immune system. Blood becomes toxic, and lacking oxygen and energy, the body
is unable to defend itself against either internal or environmental stressors.
The result is discomfort, disease, disability and premature death. Fortunately,
for the wise, there is an alternative!
Each of
us can practice protective and preventative, remedial and restorative self-care
by doing the things we already know to do to support autoimmune health: Update
beliefs, eliminate toxins in food and water, manage toxic emotions, avoid toxic
noise and breathe!
Use Full
Wave Breathing to simultaneously stimulate and relax the mindbody system Become
aware of the body breathing, allowing thoughts to pass and enter a meditative
state of calm alertness.
High Blood
Pressure, Anxiety and Worry
Have
high blood pressure? Worried or anxious about the future? “Elevated
blood pressure accompanies those bodily states where rapid, shallow breathing
prevails. By altering breathing to a slow a diaphragmatic mode, blood pressure
decreases. Elevated blood pressure is a major American health problem.” -
Robert Fried, PhD, The Breath Connection
Use Full
Wave Breathing to promote the unimpeded flow of consciousness through every cell
in the body as healing takes place on all levels.
Our
breathing affects:
Physical
vitality
Emotional calmness
Mental
focus
Spiritual awareness
Practice
Full Wave Breathing for 30 days, and see if life doesn’t absolutely transform!
Utilize
Full Wave Breathing daily as an exercise leading to a healthy habit, avoiding
many dis-ease states and enjoying life more fully. Enjoying life more fully
enables us to make a greater contribution to the life in whatever way we desire
for “soul satisfaction.”
Since we
will be breathing for as long as we are alive. Doesn't it just make good sense
to perform it in a way that supports rather than undermines health? Of course it
does—so start today!
Build a
new habit of breathing that enhances instead of diminishes the Life Force in the
body.
My
desire and hope for you is for you to that you will suspend any tendency toward
disbelief and
actually test
the information
presented. When it works, and you be the soul judge, then make it part of an
enlightened life. Thank you for reading
Just Breathe!
Just For
Today!
Eavesdropping
on a Conversation
Student Tell
me Master Teacher, what am I to make of it? You required me to perform
austerities and become a vegetarian for 6 months before you’d take me as your
student. Only then did you know I had the mental focus to be able to utilize the
teachings and discipline the mindbody. Now,
part of my work was to make it simple for the people to find the inner spark of
their own divinity. That was what you taught me to see and honor in all beings.
So all I’ve asked them to do is Just Breathe! and they still don’t get it, don’t
or can’t do it.
Master Teacher
Teacher of little children are we all. You must also make it easy. Calling it so
makes it so. Teach how easy it is. It is. It is made much easier with the music
you offer. As for
the austerities, the culture still believes in the value of suffering, so I gave
them a few things to change and it helped their physical bodies. Breathing is
good though some may see its pleasure as unfamiliar. The current societal focus
is more on avoiding pain that embracing pleasure. They
are yet young in understanding, and the awakening continues. So make it easy for
them as well as simple—train more facilitators, create media products, provide
access and tell them stories.
Student I even
showed them how, seeing their own divine spark they could use their breath to
fan the spark into a flame and energize their living. The ego resistance to
feeling fully again is significant, and, of course the remedy is in the
breathing which is resisted. So we throw parties and celebrate and call them
workshops and seminars. We play music so they can dance with and become friendly
with their breathing. People
ask for advice and I see that if I tell them that Bill had the same problem they
did and used breathing, they hear me better that if I say to them, “Just
Breathe! I have
also spoken about transcending the domination of the intellect and the
realignment of the limbic system in the simplest of terms to understand: Crank
up the breathing. Do it a certain way for a limited period of time and see what
happens.
Master Teacher Well
do as you must and love them well. It is your joyful task to be a teacher of the
heart. Your mission has been to serve as an en-brightener, not an enlightener.
You show them how to grow into their energetic Presence. The
culture is trained to feel unworthy and so the thought of becoming the director
of one’s own movie is not a common one. For it to be so simple as you have
presented is difficult to accept. Struggle is an accepted and revered price to
pay for achievement on your Earth. You,
instead, suggest that a person actually has control over mood—and that by doing
one simple thing—over a period of time like water dissolving a stone— a change
occurs and life dramatically improves.
You thought everybody should know about this. School children need to be taught
this. And teachers and parents, and social workers and others in the caring
professions. And students and athletes and in corporations and nursing homes.
And so the work continues.

The ABC's of
Higher Consciousness
Attitude--expectant
or repellant; positive or negative; open or closed to Life; and embracing as
differentiated from resisting; healing or declining; We can get better or get
bitter. Make it a nice day!
Breath--Let
our exhale demonstrate the complete surrender to God/Universe of all cares and
concerns; becoming non-resistant to the tensions of the body, relaxing the
cells, molecules and atoms. Consciously directing our breathing throughout your
day re-minds us of our spiritual nature, and is a boost to health and energy.
Choice—We
either listen to the voice for Love or the voice for Fear, that of ego. One
knows that all are innocent; the other blames and sees the guilty. The choice is
ours:
Tune
into the Love channel
Access
essence
Understand
Awaken
Determination--Nothing
happens without our dedicated effort. Even something as simple as breathing
requires our participation. To achieve more in life, there must be more
invested. Usually all that is required is the gift of time. Let’s give it to
ourselves.
Energy--All
is energy vibrating at different rates. Each lives, moves and has its being in
this Energy. It is called Soul, Creator/Source, God, Universe, All That Is. IT
is bigger than can be imagined.
Focus--What
we focus upon grows. Focus upon
The joy
in life
Daily
expression of gratitude
Moving
forward to meet our dreams.
Our
deepest dream is of unity, enlightenment, experiencing oneness, realization,
actualization, transcendent consciousness--and not of material things. This is
why when we get them, achieve, and succeed, we hunger for more. The most helpful
dream is to achieve enlightenment. It continues after awakening.
Freedom—In
our soul we are free. The challenge is to bring that freedom fully into our life
through management of our energy. Our beliefs create our emotions and inform our
health. What is required is individual to each of us; yet the path is similar as
we ask, what beliefs would be required
to produce a
life of freedom, grace and ease
—and
adopt them.
Grace--There
is a never-ending flow of grace awaiting our awareness so that: Life is more
joyous, and the bumps on the path become less disruptive as we
learn/remember/awaken into higher mind, beyond that of egoic consciousness. Full
Wave Breathing can make the journey easier than ever before.
Think of grace
as effortless growth through your connection with joy.
Heaven
or Hell—We get to choose which state toll engage. If, as the master teachers
say, “Heaven is within,” why don’t we going there more often to visit? What
would happen if we devoted (consecrated) 100 breaths each day to do so? Who
among us dares not find out?
Integrity—Being
whole and complete is the essential nature of each individual--the potential
seeking expression. What would happen if we each dedicated the next 100 Full
Wave Breaths to feeling our wholeness, our integrity?
Joy—The
vibration of Joy takes us out of person-ality and is the product of our
connection with unity. Becoming a Joy finder in all that you we do, making it
part of our daily and life mission, calls us forward into greater life.
The path to Joy is the
dedication of life--our life, all life--to the good of all.
Kindness--
Considered as
one of the
seven virtues, opposites of the
seven deadly sins, Kindness is being
helpful to one in need for the advantage of the person helped. It is treating
the other as self, expressing our deeper connection and responding from the
heart. Kindness is caring in action.
Love—The
substrate of being, the underlying nature of the unified field, the
interconnectedness of all life and the unquestioning regard for all living
expression.
Multiplicity—The
nature of the One is manifest in multiplicity. Imagine each choice giving rise
to an alternate universe—All That Is encompassing every possibility. The mind
cannot hold it all or decide amongst the choices. The inner battle is won when
it defers to the heart’s wisdom.

Connecting with the Web of Love
Breathing the Web. Here is a simple, yet powerful way of
connecting with the Web of Love through breath. Close your eyes for a minute and
imagine a sparkling, energetic web connecting the deepest essence of all people
in the world. Consider placing your hands over your heart or the center of your
chest as you do this. Take a few deep breaths as you open to this image.
Now, while taking a slow, very deep inhale, say
to yourself:
Repeat this a few times while opening your heart fully to all the
love present. Make sure to fill your lungs completely on the in breath and to
exhale fully on breathing out. Doing this for just a minute or less can
powerfully shift you into a more loving space. Try it now, and invite yourself
to really let the love flow!
The "you" in these sacred love statements can be all people on
the planet, or it can be any individual you choose. For some, it might be easier
to start this exercise by imagining the one to whom you feel closest in your
life. Breathe the web with that special someone in mind and let the love flow
between you. Then envision other people in your life and do the same. When you
are ready, envision groups with which you are involved and eventually all people
who share our world. This simple breathing exercise can be deeply meaningful in
either a personal or a global context.
There may be times when you want to breathe the web, but can’t
remember the words used above. “Love to me, love to you,” is all you need to
feel the web. You can create your own sayings, too, with words that are more
meaningful to you. The most important element is your intention to connect
with all people on this beautiful planet through the Web of Love.
More from
research
by Dr. Neil Douglas-Klotz, Christian, Jewish mystical and Sufi expert. The
familiar Western version of this line in “The Lord’s Prayer” is:
And
forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.
The
original version of this line in Aramaic is:
Help us
not forget our Source, yet free us from not being in the Present.
To
update that for readers, let’s go further as say that as we breathe in the
energy of Source then, let us be present. A
comprehensive study by Dr. Weston A. Price, documented in his book Nutrition
and Physical Degeneration, showed that almost all children born to parents
who has white flour and white sugar in their diet developed tooth decay,
mismatched and poor dental arch formation, crooked teeth, narrowed faces,
reduced sensory perceptions, arthritis and other bone disease, malformation of
bones, thinner skull, less bone density and impaired brain and body development.
The study was completed in the 1930’s. SO why
do you need a breathing exercises? Most people have rapid, shallow breathing
patterns contributing to stress hormone production and
depriving the cells of oxygen. Cells deprived of oxygen become a toxic dump
hosting toxic viruses, bacteria and chronic disease. What
causes the rapid, shallow breathing? Stress—mental, emotional and environmental.
The remedy for mental and emotional stress is de-stressing through Full Wave
Breathing on a daily basis.
Doc, I
understand you said that breathing is the most important exercise. Is that true?
Thank you. Wanting to Understand
Dear
Wanting to Understand, What I
said was that Full Wave Breathing is the single most important exercise. I
didn't say "breathing". This is particularly so because 80-90% of people have
impaired breathing and doing more of it simply compounds their problems. So if
you do something that is not good for you, the solution is NOT to do more of
it. ‘
Dr.
Dr., help me please with a cure that’s not worse than the disease.
I have
recently completed my campaign to loose 40 pounds, achieved after a year. Now,
how can I maintain my weight? I have reduced my intake by 400 calories per day
and exercise ½ every day.
Some of
the information in the ezine is repeated so it becomes ingrained in
consciousness. Each month the repeated material does change slightly,
becoming more refined and defined. Look for the changes, the shifts in emphasis
and expansion of ideas in each new issue. Those who skip sections are
missing information that could be important in creating and expanding their
joyful existence. Healthcare, Sickcare a system based upon the study of sick people
and focusing on how to "fix" them. It addresses symptoms rather than causes and
treats disease as an enemy to be eradicated. Imagine instead that you observed
healthy people and adopted their practices. What might then be the result and
the state of your health?
How would you treat illness if it was not your enemy, and was instead only a
message concerning stressors in your mind and body? Most likely you would
cooperate with the body using principles based upon natural health. The first
place to begin is with the basic foundation of life, your breathing.
Follow the instruction for the Full Wave Breathing exercise. (Link to page)
If you like the result today, repeat the exercise tomorrow. Embrace a more
expansive life through embracing your breath—do it just for today…and then the
next today.
Your sacred love flows in to me.
Then slowly exhale fully while thinking and feeling:
My sacred love flows out to you.
Dear Recently Slender,
The age old formula is still eat less, exercise more. Better yet, I’d say stay in shape and eat healthy. It’s a question of balance.
I know a woman, call her Sue, she isn’t heavy and she knows what to do.
She eats healthy foods and only when she is hungry—not on a clocked schedule; doesn’t consume pollutants—smoke, drugs, alcohol, or sugary stuff; takes supplements appropriate to her environment and activity, breathes as a meditation almost every day, has loving and forgiving thoughts for all and likes and is liked by children and pets.
So how much exercise does this person need to remain healthy. The answer is very little. Exercise helps remove toxins; she has few; exercise helps tone muscles; her work engages her muscles and her normal walking is a complete exercise. The answer, in short, is that she doesn’t need to exercise as a particular ritual.
Compare her situation to that of Sally who eats fast food, is around smokers, works in a stressful environment and doesn’t like to swallow pills (supplements or anything else). Her daily pattern is to get up and take off, running at full tilt until its time to go home, where she will eat a frozen dinner--if she didn’t do carry-out-- and collapse in front of the TV until bedtime.
Sally, even if she had no other toxic additions to her lifestyle—and she does—needs to exercise at least an hour five days a week if she wants to remain free from disease. She would need to do even more if she didn’t reduce her stress as well.
Otherwise, she can expect weight gain, heart problems, and gradual eroding of her immune function. Sounds normal doesn’t it? She also needs to start out with a huge number of supplements to correct her dietary imbalances and help the body detoxify.
Now there is nothing better about one lifestyle or the other. Most of us are somewhere in between. Where in between is up to us.
Is it easier to avoid the taste-tempting, mind-numbing media and mass produced food or to do (pretty much) what you like and dose yourself with countless exercise sessions along with regular intake of herbs, vitamins, minerals and tinctures?
It depends, doesn’t it? Smokers and those around them need vitamin C and D supplementation. Someone living in a place with clean air and few environmental toxins, may not require them as much. What is your lifestyle? Have you taken a moment to consider what you are feeding your mindbody system? If there were no rights or wrongs and you had only your health and ease to consider, what is best for you? More exercise or more relaxation? Which is for you? Get both with Full Wave Breathing.

What Lies Ahead—Comment and Recommendation
As reported in the last issue of Just Breathe!, in 2009, the cycles of cycles all coincide, giving rise to fear and trembling, anticipation and expectation.
Yes, our mindbody system is affected by cosmic influences. The fears surrounding the year 2000 and the scare of Y2K taught us to avoid projections and instead to
- Focus upon the love within all;
- Nurture the place of quiet within the mind
- Enhance health
When the next surge of energy affecting your emotional energies scheduled for the first of March, 2008 arrives, Just Breathe! will be with you providing solutions for sensitive souls.
Two Commandment Path of Relationship
1. Love Me with all of your heart, mind and soul;
2. Love others as Self.
We are taught to see difference. Learning to see oneness, the problems in relationships begin to disappear. If all is God, what is not Self?
BREATHE!
We are either part of the solution or part of the problem. Yes, we are innocent, and either teach joy and love or yes, are part of the problems facing the world. Deciding to radiate an uplifting energy we become a contributor to the health and well being of planetary life.
Full Wave Breathing expands our aliveness—as we fill all of the cells in the body with Joy. Smiling as we take 5 Full Wave Breaths, we can imagine all of the organs, glands and cells smiling, singing and dancing inside. In less than a minute, we naturally feel better.

Longevity
Generally we die of
old age as our history catches up with us. Damage from early years begins to
take its toll. If our organ systems make it, our structural system still needs
support. Recommendation? If you are 50 or over, find an Osteopathic Physician
who will adjust your body. Get your dental work taken care of if you want to
give yourself the best chance of enjoying lively living throughout your years.
Most all of us can improve the way we feel by dedicating (investing) some time in our self-maintenance program. Start to feel better and heal more quickly by intelligent application of the tips the Just Breathe! ezine passes on every month.
In Economic News: It seems that the junk bond mortgage collapse occurred because the people who rate the bonds work for the companies that sell the bonds. This is like having a doctor paid by a pharmaceutical company for validating its claims without legitimate trials. Hmm, does that happen?

Q & A
What does personality learn during this time of soul emergence?
-
Surrender
-
Detachment
-
Accommodation
-
Acknowledgement
-
Acceptance
Surrender:
- To be willing to follow where soul leads;
- That our desire to grow is greater than our fear of moving forward;
- That we are willing to listen more to our intuition and to heart than to let self be confused by the mind’s opinions, judgments, prejudices.
This is not to say that we disregard mind completely. For in order to achieve stability, common sense in the third dimension world is just as important to making things happen as is the flow of our intuitive perception. To surrender means that we cease to fight the current, ending struggle, anxiety, and confusion.
Detachment:
- To release personality preferences
- That our joy is more important than being right
- That we can still be engaged
Detachment is the opposite of not caring. It is because we do care—about our well being and peace of mind—that we keep an open mind, remembering that things DO work out for our best interest in the long run. Similar to surrender, detachment means we are responsible and active—and do not worry about the past or future.
Accommodation:
- To allow others their reality
- To adapt to change
- To engage with understanding
Accommodation is also used to imply the implementation of a new purpose or strategy—such a living for a soul rather than an ego perspective.
Acknowledgement:
- To admit the truth
- To surrender to one’s spiritual nature
- To live life based upon one spirit

Since all is energy and each individual is connected to the whole, then each person has the power to direct their energy. We can alter our biochemistry to a life supporting instead of debilitating state whenever ego mind begins to demand attention.
We can shift our biochemical state to a supportive one whenever you become aware of feeling constricted, closed or negative simply by breathing 5 Full Wave Breaths. Throughout our day, Let’s Take 5 and see if it doesn’t help.
We are each spirit experiencing the apparent evolution of human consciousness. Every day is a step along our spiritual path that leads to the Self.
Are we practicing Full Wave Breathing because it is good for us--or because it is a way of being good to self? Which do you think produces the best result?

EXERCISE CORNER:
Full Wave Breathing is a natural, drug-free, and dramatically effective way to experience health, joy and aliveness that mobilizes and supports your progression toward balance and wholeness. It is a method which accelerates and complements modern healthcare and treatment practices. Use it to inspire yourself so you can inspire others!
The Single Most Important Exercise is Full Wave Breathing
There are 3 Steps, simple as A B C: Abdomen, Belly, and Chest. First, breathe into the lower abdomen and keep your focus there until you can comfortably fill and relax that area of the body. Use your muscles to expand your lower abdomen, beginning at the top or your pubic bone.
Second, after filling the abdomen (A) shift your focus to your entire belly (B) or midsection, stretching and distending your diaphragm and ribs as you inhale. Relax everything as you exhale. Use your muscles to push out the lower abdomen, then expand the area just above.
Third, filling A & B, shift your focus to your chest (C) and above. Having expanded the lower portions of the body, stretch up into the chest and back. Make all of your physical movements gentle and slow. All the movement to become very subtle and gentle as you alternately inhale and exhale without pause.
You may find it more comfortable to begin with distinct movements of your body. Allow the process to become like a dance of movement from bottom to top, top to bottom. Later, allow your body to remain completely relaxed as you visualize the movement of energy through you.
Repeat often for the most dramatic results. For more detailed instruction, read below:
Step One of Full Wave Breathing
Place one hand on the abdomen below the navel and the other on the chest. As you inhale, hold the chest still; allowing the abdomen to expand as if you is filling a balloon. Stretch and extend the lower belly. Relax completely into an inhale at the point where the abdomen is distended fully and the lungs are filled. After exhaling, inhale immediately. The chest does not move at all.
Continue breathing with no pause between inhales and exhale. All of the emphasis is upon your inhale. The exhale is a release of the tension created during your inhale. So you will Inhale and relax...inhale...and relax. Continue as you read this instruction to see how simple it is to perform. Breathe through your nose or mouth as you desire. You increase oxygenation by over 50% when you breathe through your mouth because of the normal restriction in nostril breathing.
Close your eyes as you are breathing and then relax for a few minutes when you are done. Allow your breathing to normalize before continuing with your activities. You may perform this exercise while sitting at the computer, riding in the car, or even watching television. Start practicing this exercise today and you'll be pleased with your result!
To help you stay focused on your breathing, place a book or weighted bag on your lower abdomen when lying down and performing the exercise. If you are sitting, to keep your spine erect, imagine that a rope is attached to the middle of your head. The rope rises into the air. In your imagination, allow the rope to gently lift you up until your spine is erect. Sit straight, be open, and breathe.
Step Two of Full Wave Breathing
Continue breathing with no pause between inhales and exhale. Inhale and Relax...Inhale...and Relax.
Count 1 as you inhale and expand your lower abdomen in Step One. Count 2 as you lengthen your inhale and push out the middle of your torso at the solar plexus. Release tension and allow the body to exhale and repeat. Perform this exercise anytime to relax. Do not perform connected breathing when driving or operating machinery.
When lying down, place a pillow under your knees, not under your neck. When sitting, allow yourself to stretch and open your spine as you sit and breathe.
Close your eyes as you breathe and then relax for a few minutes when you are done. Allow your breathing to normalize and return to your tasks.
Step Three of Full Wave Breathing
