CO2 Depletion Disrupts Your Emotional State

Your body requires a balance in carbon dioxide to function with ease. The normal CO2 range is 35-45 mmHg range. This is an irrefutable scientific fact and perhaps the most neglected area in mental health, medicine, and rehabilitation for more than 150 years. CO2 depletion caused by breathing behaviors disrupts your nervous system, impairs your thinking, and decreases your energy. 

An ongoing heightened central nervous system hijacked by a state of hypervigilance or survival will create the perfect storm that will yield thought patterns that are destructive and negative. These patterns can perpetuate and exacerbate with more stress, creating true pathological conditions as mental health disorders.  Your sense of ease, motivation, and confidence can be negatively affected by the way you breath. CO2 depletion can cause the following states:

A state of survival is not capable to generate healthy creative ideas that lead to healthy actions. The altered physiology will increased the probability of engaging in bad habits. In short, a disturbed physiology can manipulate how you think, feel, and act.

CO2 Depletion Alters Oxygen and Blood Flow

Imagine a brain lacking oxygen, blood supply, and glucose. A brain that has a compromised excretion system is unable to get rid of toxic waste product like Beta-amyloid, a toxic protein implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s disease.

If the brain is not thriving, it is decaying. The brain is not regenerating, and it is certainly not positioned to produce a healthy imagination. The brain is clogged up and in a state of shock and survival.

Unfounded Fear, Why?

The creative process of negative imagination works as effectively as the deliberate intent to create inner peace, inspiration, creativity, and gratitude. The memories, laughter, and enjoyment of what you love most can be greatly influenced by body chemistry, which is influenced directly by your physiology, namely CO2 balance.

Is Your Physiology Being Hacked?

Low CO2 creates physiological chaos, generating unfounded anxiety, worry, fear, negativity, cynicism, and multidimensional self-perpetuating conflict with unlimited potential for destruction. In more severe cases, improper breathing can cause suicidal ideation, hallucinations, and schizophrenic reactions. Often, this issue is very subtle and cannot be easily recognized.  Thoughts are being hacked and hijacked by altered chemistry in the body, mediated by unstable desynchronized breathing leading to low CO2, causing ongoing physiological stress that increases the chances for negative thinking, unhealthy habits, illness, and disease.

The body is not meant to sustain a state of survival. Said state is elusive because most people cannot distinguish the level of stress they are in regardless of age, work demands, retirement, economic situation, and more.

Your Imagination Creates Reality

On the contrary, a healthy brain will thrive, creating inspiration and loving thoughts as needs are met. The CO2 balance will give you the following benefits:

CO2 Balance Supports Your Mental Stability

Healthy breathing chemistry is about having the CO2 to be stable and adaptive regardless of what is happening to you. The way you breathe can give you the ability to stay calm, and create a sense of ease for healing, recovery, and performance.  CO2 balance can give you the following benefits:

Healthy physiology via CO2 balance supports healthy imagination and a cheerful personality. Let it magnetize opportunities to come to you. Your imagination will create new realities if you use your abilities to create change. You get to create a new story with your own design. 

pH Of Your Soul

Nothing can affect the pH of the body the way CO2 can from second to second. The effect of breathing on pH is instant, and you can gain the ability to affect your physiology in a creative way giving health, energy, focus, rest, recovery, inspiration, motivation, love of self and others, and your true ability to help others in need. Your creative imagination becomes part of your self-care and self-management. This is an unknown physiological model of mental health. 

7 SIMPLE TIPS AND STRATEGIES

1. Start With Gratitude

Your creative imagination can become a skill. You can make it a game. Practice it more often and it will get easier. Start with gratitude. Stop to consider what you are grateful for and smile as you do so. Say “thank you” more often when you drive your car, or when you go for a walk. Enjoy what you are doing at any given time as your inward smile can support your state of mind.

2. Mental Housekeeping

Mental housekeeping is needed to declutter and let go of what is not needed. Health promotion is an art form. It needs conscious awareness and dedication but is a worthwhile effort. Keep saying “thank you” and take inventory of the circumstances that will come your way. Put it to the test and allow good things to come your way.

3. Protect Your Efforts

Protect your time so you can reinforce your efforts with people who can encourage you and motivate you to do well. Seek support systems that allow you to check in with your health maintenance.

4. Protect Your Progress

Stay away from negative people. They have a problem to every solution (Albert Einstein). Negative people are never happy with your success. They can easily get jealous of your goals and joy. Be kind and express compassion. Remember everyone you meet is facing a battle. Refrain from judgment and criticism. Maybe one day you can look back and lend a helping hand. You can encourage them to live to their fullest potential. For now, focus on yourself and improve so that you may help others. You cannot give what you don't have. Concentrate your efforts on building joy within yourself so you can give joy to others.

5. True Intrinsic value

Consider focusing on what counts and what has intrinsic true value, such as love, joy, family, your chosen spiritual journey, your friends, your goals, and your love for others. Enjoy the sun, the fresh air, and a simple walk in the mountains or around your neighborhood. Keep the body moving and your thoughts will most likely move in the direction of what is possible in your heart and mind.

6. Your Tactical Exhalation

Breathe a little slower and direct your focus on the exhalation, allowing it to be passive. The exhalation is the master key to letting things go. It facilitates peace and serenity. The exhalation allows reflection, forgiveness, and flow.

7. Avoid Abrupt Forced Inhalations

Refrain from abrupt breathing maneuvers that can and most likely lead to hyperventilation and default you into a mental state of chaos, survival, and disconnectedness. Be careful with the mode of inhalation as it can feed the egotistical pieces, leading to fatigue, depression, arrogance, defensiveness, and false pride.

The inhalation is often tied to stress reactions, leading to over-expansion of the chest wall due to an increase in air volume. Allow the inhalation to be abdominal, bypassing the chest. Diaphragmatic breathing will not ensure CO2 balance, but it is an important aspect of your breathing mechanics for posture and health.

Stabilizing Your Physiology

CO2 balance target 40mmHg is the true measure of good breathing. It is the most important gateway of health creation and health freedom. Health education using progressive technology to measure physiology is a good step to help correct the root cause of complex health issues. Don’t just treat the symptoms.

Conclusion

• Breathing brings new opportunities for healing and to expand the mind to explore our true nature in inspiration and creativity with new ideas for today and the future.
• CO2 depletion has a great impact to alter the way we think and feel. Low CO2 affects the brain chemistry in profound ways and it can hijack our mental and emotional performance.
• Your creative imagination, by design, will have a great impact in your health.
