Do you think you breathe as well as you could?
Do you know the consequences of NOT breathing well?
Depressed immune system
Chronic Fatigue
Poor circulation
Physical weakness
Toxicity build-up
Depression
Stress
Sleeplessness
Lymphatic dysfunction
And worst of all….Creating an environment that encourages the top 32 anaerobic diseases to inhabit your body – things like cancer and fibromyalgia that just can’t live in a properly oxygenated body!
The consequences are so serious that you will now find oxygen bars and hyperbaric chambers dotted across the country to redress this poor state of affairs. It is estimated that we now use somewhere near only 20% of our breath capacity on a regular basis, and yet a whopping 70% of our daily detoxification is done through respiration – WOW! (You thought it was that other system lower down that did all the detox work, didn’t you?)
As little as 20 years ago, the oxygen content of our air supply was as much as 28%; it has now dropped to 16 – 18% in cities like Los Angeles. Are you worried? You should be! This statistic has tremendous impact on our health, vitality and wellbeing, and on our ability to resist disease and combat stress. Add that to our sedentary lifestyles, and we’re in big trouble.
What are you going to do? We can’t all move to a rainforest now, can we? Fortunately there is an economical solution at hand, a technique that after just 5 short sessions you can do for yourself at home.
It’s called Transformational Breathing (www.breath2000.com)
Transformational Breathing is a diaphragmatic, circular breathing technique that works simultaneously on 3 important levels:
- Clearing physical restrictions to open, relaxed breathing
- Releasing negative mental patterns and emotional suppressions
- Providing a clear channel to spiritual awareness and connection.
FAQ’s
What happens in a TB session?
In a reclined position, you are guided to relax and breathe gently and rhythmically without pausing, like a wave, coming in and going out without stopping. A breath session will last for about 60 minutes, with the last 15 minutes being a period of gentle meditation and “re-grounding”.
Won’t I hyperventilate if I breathe like that?
No, the facilitator will guide you to relax your exhale and this type of exhale is what prevents hyperventilation.
Sounds kinda boring – is that it?
Actually, there is more to it! Dynamic music will guide you through the various stages of breathwork. Your facilitator will gently guide your breath to rebalance using positive affirmations and trigger points that will release trapped energy. If the energy gets intense, your facilitator will coach you to “tone” or make long clear sounds. This moves the energy through your system so you can be free of restrictions both physically and emotionally. Movements may be added for greater effect, and you may move your arms, legs, hips, feet and shoulders as directed by your facilitator while you breathe.
What’s in it for me?
Feelings of greater peace and relaxation; permanent resolution of emotional restrictions because these restrictions are addressed on all levels simultaneously – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Greater health (such as improved lymphatic and bowel function) and vitality and ongoing feelings of wellbeing and peacefulness will be yours.

From Connie S:
All in all, it was a totally amazing session. I wish I could achieve that level of meditation on my own.
From Brian W:
When I started the session, my wrists had been in pain for several days from overwork. Afterwards, they just did not hurt anymore, and the pain did not return.
