CO2 is the prime regulator of oxygen delivery, blood circulation, electrolyte function, pH balance, and kidney function. Disordered breathing, a learned behavior, has the potential to rob you of your health, your inner peace, your success, and your potential.
Water shapes the rock, not because of its power, but because of its persistence. Similarly, chronic stress can create patterns in breathing that can throw our physiology off balance, causing poor health and performance deficits. Breathing is one of the most vulnerable systems in the body. Any emotion whether positive or negative can capture the involuntary breathing to accommodate the stress response, preparing the body for fight-or-flight.
The persistent nature of breathing behaviors can create physiologic stress through the depletion of carbon dioxide in the body. This issue has been involved in poor health, burnout, mental decline, pain syndromes, and other symptom phenomena. Breathing is the most effective and natural way to reduce physiological stress and allow the body to maximize its own healing potential.
